RPI, which is coached by Shannon O'Brien, is coming off a year in which it set a school record by going 7-0 in dual meets. The Engineers also finished second in the Liberty League championship meet as well as the New York State Championship Meet. Rensselaer, which has won 14 of its last 15 dual meets over the past three seasons, returns each of its top six point producers.

Founded in 1824, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is America's oldest technological research university. For nearly two centuries, the Institute has been a driving force behind breakthroughs in engineering and science in virtually every arena-from transportation and infrastructure to business, medicine, outer space, and cyberspace.

As it approaches its bicentennial anniversary, the Institute continues to define The New Polytechnic, a new paradigm for teaching, learning, and research that uses advanced technologies to enable fresh collaborations across disciplines, sectors, and regions, in order to answer the global challenges of our day.
