Yep, 9 to 7 in the opening round.

Boyd went on and finished 2nd and lost to the champion 4 to 3.

After losing in the opening round, 5th place was the best Raike could do.............which he did.

We look forward to returning to the Coliseum next Monday night when we take on Fairmont State at 7 PM. There should be a lot of West Virginia natives on the mat and a fun night of action. It's also our first Dollar Night of the season, with tickets and select concessions available for only $1 each. It will also be a Weekday Happy Hour, where fans can get half price beverages from 6 p.m. - 7 p.m.

Remember, wrestling teams can get free tickets to all home duals. Just shoot me an email at kyle.bratke@mail.wvu.edu and I will get you the form you need to receive those tickets. Hope to see you in the Coliseum soon!

Let's Go Mountaineers!

Yes. Derek went up 6-2 and then gassed due to a terrible weight cut. Hopefully lesson learned!
