An article in the Boston Globe reports on former UB wrestler Jeff Parker, who is battling cancer after a mass was removed from his neck in the fall. The article quotes his UB coach, Jim Beichner, and reports UB's match on Jan. 30 against Ohio will double as a "Takedown Cancer" fundraising event to offset the costs of treatment not covered by Parker's insurance.
