Delaware State University made history on the wrestling mat in 2026, fielding a team of all women, the first ever Division I women’s wrestling program at an HBCU.
And a short documentary, “First to the Mat,” by DSU students Tia Jarvis and Sanaiyah Baines-Butler highlights the program’s first-ever home dual meet where the Hornets easily defeated Wilkes and McDaniel.
