The 1967-68 Union College Wrestling Team was the only undefeated team in Dutchmen wrestling history and the first undefeated team of any sport at Union in 12 years. Union was 10-0 with victories that included Dartmouth, Clarkson and Colgate, and was a season in the middle of a three year run that featured an overall record of 26-3. The '67-68 squad won the program's second straight ICAC Championship, and the following season's four wins to open the year provided Union the best team winning streak since the 15 by the men's basketball team in 1917-18. Coach Ron Coleman's team featured Bill Munno, Naysim Simon and Ron Iannotti, who competed in the prestigious "4 I" tournament in Oxford, Ohio, and Union was 12th in the tourney that featured Munno's third place at the 117 weight class. Frank D'Antuono and Iannotti won three individual ICAC Championships each. During the 10-0 mark, Munno, Simon, D'Antuono, Ianotti and Tom Tripp were all undefeated in their individual performances.
