St. Cloud, Minn. – No. 2 St. Cloud State Wrestling travels to No. 9 UW-Parkside on Friday for their first Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference dual of the season. The Huskies and Rangers will begin at 6:30 p.m. CST in Kenosha.
Video streaming will be provided by the Parkside Sports Network, available through a link on the SCSU Wrestling page, along with match-by-match coverage provided on Twitter via @SCSUHUSKIES_WR
The reigning NSIC Champions defeated UW-Parkside 26-9 last season in Kenosha, winning seven of 10 bouts including major decisions by Joseph Bianchini and Kameron Teacher. SCSU enters the dual 4-0 on the season fresh off a 3-0 performance at the Carolina Clash. Each of the Huskies' four wins have come against nationally-recognized foes – No. 14 Lake Erie, No. 4 West Liberty, No. 18 UNC-Pembroke and RV Lander.
Friday's dual features plenty of exciting potential bouts, beginning with a big tilt for Paxton Creese as he squares off with No. 3 Joe Arroyo. Creese defeated No. 2 Nick Daggatt (UNC-Pembroke) last weekend by a 6-5 decision and lost to No. 1 Cole Laya (West Liberty) by just a takedown at the Carolina Clash. No. 8 Devin Donovan and No. 10 Dominic Murphy each have ranked matches against No. 4 Shane Gantz and No. 5 Job Ayala at 165 and 174 respectively.
