Pitt-Johnstown's
Matt Siszka (125 lbs.) and
Jacob Ealy (149 lbs.) earned Wildcard spots to the 2021 NCAA Division II National Wrestling Championships in St. Louis, MO on March 12-13 when the NCAA announced this year's qualifiers on Monday.
Siszka was the runner-up at 125 lbs. at Sunday's Super Region I Tournament in Erie, while Ealy placed third, but won a True Second-Place Match to earn the Wildcard berth at 149 lbs. Siska and Ealy will join Super Region I Champion
Brock Biddle (174 lbs.) in St. Louis on March 12-13 to give the Mountain Cats three NCAA National Qualifiers.
In a normal season, the top-three finishers in each of the 10 weight classes would earn spots in the NCAA National Championships. This year was different due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The champion from each weight class automatically advanced to the NCAA Championships and five wildcard spots were awarded in Super Region I.

Siszka received a bye to start the regional tournament, then defeated Alderson-Broaddus' Noah Hodges, 9-2 in the semifinals. Siszka then suffered a 4-0 loss to Gannon's second-ranked Charlie Lenox in the finals.
At 149 lbs., Ealy began with a bye, but fell, 11-3, to Fairmont State's Lukas Martin in the semifinals. Ealy bounced back to win his next two matches to secure third-place, before upsetting Gannon's No. 3-ranked
Dominic Means, 3-2, in a True Second-Place Match.
Biddle secured the automatic bid to the national tournament by winning the title at 174 lbs. Following a bye in the quarterfinals, Biddle opened the tournament with an 11-4 win over Fairmont State's Cade Moisey, before claiming his second consecutive regional championship and punching his ticket to nationals with a 16-2 major decision over Gannon's Connor Day.
