Roll into Sunday and you have your choice of three events. At 1:00, the Volleyball team hosts Illinois at the College Avenue Gym. At 6:00 pm, the CAG hosts Wrestling. The grapplers host Hofstra in their first real test against D1 competition. Six members of the Rutgers wrestling team were ranked in this week’s set of national polls.
