    Loew commits to Hofstra

    On Monday, Hofsta added to an already solid 2010 recruiting by receiving a verbal commitment from Matthew Loew of Wantagh, New York.

    Matthew Loew
    Loew was a runner-up at the 2009 NYSPHSAA (Division I) State Championships at 189 pounds competing for Wantagh High School. He is a two-time NHSCA Nationals All-American, finishing runner-up in 2008 and sixth in 2009 at 189 pounds. Loew was a Cadet Nationals All-American in freestyle last summer in Fargo, placing fourth at 189 pounds. This past April, Loew won a FILA Cadet Nationals title in freestyle and placed third in Greco-Roman.

    "Hofstra is good school," Loew told InterMat when asked why he chose the school. "It's really close to where I live. I'm going to enjoy being close to my family while I go to school. I'm really excited to be on the team and see where the program goes. I kind of wanted to make the decision before the wrestling season started. I kind of always knew that I wanted to go to Hofsta, so it was an easy decision to make."

    Hofstra has already received verbal commitments from New York Class of 2010 wrestlers Nick Arujau and Cody Ruggirello, which excites Loew.

    "I think it's great," said Loew, who expects to compete collegiately at 197 pounds. "It's a good recruiting class for Hofstra. I think the team is going to be great in a few years."

    Loew is preparing to compete at the Junior Nationals Championships in Fargo, which get underway this weekend. He plans to compete in both Greco-Roman and freestyle at 189 pounds.

    "There are a couple good guys at my weight," said Loew. "Last year I was an All-American. I'm looking to come back and be an All-American again."
