Binghamton has fielded a college wrestling team since 1969. The team competed on the NCAA Division III level until 1998. The Bearcats moved to Division II in 1999 and Division I in 2002. The wrestling team joined the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association in July 2013. Previously, it had been an associate member of the Colonial Athletic Association , but conference realignment led the CAA to drop the sport. The rest of Binghamton's intercollegiate teams, except golf , are members of the America East Conference . The Bearcats have had four All-American wrestlers (Josh Patterson 7th, Justin Lister 4th, Nick Gwiazdowski 8th, Donald Vinson 3rd) since joining Division I and had 25 All-Americans in Divisions II and III. [2]
The squad was coached by Pat Popolizio, a former wrestler for the Oklahoma State Cowboys , who left in 2012 to take the head wrestling coach position at North Carolina State University . Popolizio was succeeded by Matt Dernlan who had been the head coach of the Clarion Golden Eagles .
In December 2017, Dernlan resigned as head coach. Kyle Borshoff, a two-time All-American at American University , was named head coach.
