HOW THE WEST WAS WON

The Mavericks enter the dual ranked No. 11 in the latest D2Wrestle.com coaches poll while the Mountaineers come in ranked No. 16. Both teams have split the last six duals against each other winning three apeice. The dual could be a preview of the top two teams in the RMAC.

SALAZAR VS. BENNETTS
