The #7 UNI Panthers are back on the mat on Friday January 17th in Tempe Arizona, against #18 Arizona State in what should be an outstanding meet. The dual features 14 ranked wrestlers and 4 ranked head to head bouts. Each team has a returning NCAA Champion on their roster, so this dual is a must see.

Don’t Miss: The dual features 2 NCAA Champions, and another NCAA finalist. However the bout of the night takes place at 165 lbs. 141 should also be good!

Keys To Victory:  UNI is favored in 5 of the 10 bouts and need to take full advantage and score as many points as possible in each of them. I expect Arizona State to score big points at 125 and Heavyweight. So the Panthers will need every match they can get.

125 Trevor Anderson #23 vs  Richard Figueroa #3

133 Julian Farber vs Julian Chlebove #18

141 Cael Happel #5 vs     Emilio Ysaguirre

149 Colin Realbuto #15 vs Jesse Vasquez #13

157 Ryder Downey #4 vs Michael Kilic

165 Jack Thomsen #18 vs Nicco Ruiz #15

174 Jared Simma #16 vs Chance Mclane

184 Parker Keckeisen #2 vs Azizbek Fayzullaev

197 Wyatt Voelker #13 vs Jacob Meissner

285 Lance Runyon #17 vs Cohlton Schultz #4

Conclusion: This is a great dual featuring a few of the best wrestlers in the country. I can see UNI winning 7 of the 10 bouts and cruising to a 24-9 victory. The big question for this meet is weather or not Richard Figueroa, will wrestle.
