MATCH STORYLINES
  • The Edinboro wrestling team has run off four straight dual wins and seven in their last eight matches after opening their season with three straight losses to nationally-ranked teams. Win number five in a row may just be a little bit more difficult to attain, with top-ranked Oklahoma State visiting McComb Fieldhouse for the first time ever on Friday, February 3. Edinboro, ranked 24th in the latest USA Today/NWCA Division I Coaches Poll, comes in with a 7-4 record and has clinched a tie for the Eastern Wrestling League regular season title. The Cowboys are a perfect 10-0 and ranked number one. 
  • The Fighting Scots are no strangers to facing top-five opponents. In 2013-14, Iowa came into McComb Fieldhouse as the number one ranked team in the country. A year later, Edinboro hosted third-ranked Ohio State in the National Duals. The Fighting Scots have faced five nationally-ranked teams this year, including Virginia Tech, currently ranked fifth.     
  • Edinboro ran its EWL winning streak to 22 straight matches with a 28-9 win over Lock Haven last Friday. Edinboro has not lost an EWL dual since a 19-18 defeat to Pittsburgh in their last EWL dual in 2012-13, and will be seeking their fourth straight undefeated regular season when they host Cleveland State on February 10.   
  • Edinboro rang in the New Year with an impressive performance while competing against a strong field in the Southern Scuffle. The Fighting Scots finished sixth out of 23 teams, with six of the twelve wrestlers entered earning medals.  Sean Russell (125 lbs.), Patricio Lugo (149 lbs.), and Dakota Geer (184 lbs.) brought home fourth place finishes.  Korbin Myers and Billy Miller finished seventh at 133 lbs. and heavyweight, respectively, while Chase Delande was eighth at 157 lbs. Oklahoma State won the team title.
  • Edinboro began the season with duals against three nationally-ranked opponents.  The Fighting Scots opened with a 24-13 loss at sixth-ranked Virginia Tech, then dropped a 20-16 decision to 22nd-ranked Pittsburgh in the home opener. That was followed by a 20-13 loss to 11th-ranked Lehigh. They picked up their first win of the year with the 31-6 triumph over Clarion in their EWL opener. Edinboro's only other loss also came to a ranked opponent, as they fell to 10th-ranked North Carolina State, 24-13, at the Pitt Duals.
  • Oklahoma State features a lineup with all ten wrestlers ranked 12th or higher in their respective weight classes by InterMat. The Cowboys finished second a year ago at the NCAA Division I National Championships and returned four All-Americans from that squad. A fifth All-American from 2015 is also in the lineup. The Cowboys come in with a perfect 10-0 record and are ranked number one in the USA Today/NWCA Division I Coaches Poll. They have defeated seven nationally-ranked teams, including seventh-ranked Missouri on Sunday, 20-16. In addition, the Cowboys own wins over third-ranked Iowa, eighth-ranked Cornell, 16th-ranked Minnesota and Oklahoma, 19th-ranked South Dakota State, and 21st-ranked Pittsburgh (NOTE: rankings at time of competition). The head coach of OSU is the legendary John Smith. The two-time Olympic gold medalist has guided Oklahoma State to five NCAA Championships.   
  • The Fighting Scots won their sixth straight PSAC Championship and 11th in the last 12 years in December. Edinboro finished with 156.5 points in the 12-team field, with Lock Haven the next closest competitor with 132 points. Edinboro had seven wrestlers reach the finals, and five came away with titles. Sean Russell and Patricio Lugo won their second individual championships at 125 and 149 lbs., respectively. Meanwhile, three wrestlers were first-time winners -- Korbin Myers (133 lbs.), Ty Schoffstall (174 lbs.), and Dakota Geer (184 lbs.). Chase Delande (165 lbs.) and Billy Miller (hwt.) came in second, with Fritz Hoehn (165 lbs.) and Dylan Reynolds (197 lbs.) fourth, and Ozzy Lugo (141 lbs.) fifth. Head coach Tim Flynn has now won 17 PSAC championships in his 20 seasons.  In addition, Edinboro has now tied Lock Haven for the most PSAC titles with 19.      
  • The Fighting Scots finished tenth out of 35 teams at the Las Vegas Invitational. Four wrestlers placed, with Patricio Lugo finishing second at 149 lbs., Sean Russell third at 125 lbs., Austin Matthews fourth at 165 lbs., and Billy Miller sixth at heavyweight. Oklahoma State finished first.
