EVANSTON, Ill. — The undefeated Northwestern wrestling squad is set to do battle on the West Coast Friday night with duals against CSU Bakersfield and Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, California.
Â
The 'Cats will wrestle CSU Bakersfield at 7 p.m. CT and then Cal Poly at 9 p.m. CT. at Mott Athletics Center.
Â
Chicago's Big Ten Team has started the 2017-18 season with four-straight wins, including a 34-12 Big Ten victory over Maryland in NU's home opener. The Wildcats have also notched victories over Gardner-Webb, Old Dominion, and Northern Colorado.
Â
This competition is Northwestern's final dual of 2017. The Wildcats will also compete in the 55th Annual Ken Kraft Midlands Championships (Dec. 29-30) at the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, before the end of the calendar year.
Â
Northwestern has a 2-1 record against Cal Poly and an 0-2 record against CSU Bakersfield, though both of those duals came in the early 1990s. NU matched up at Cal Poly last season as well with the #B1GCats pulling out a 30-8 victory.
Â
NU features three ranked grapplers, highlighted by #9 Ryan Deakin and #12 Sebastian Rivera. Both redshirt first-years, Rivera has posted an unblemished 8-0 record in the early parts of the 2017-18 slate.
Â
The Wildcats will battle against two ranked wrestlers on CSU Bakersfield, #18 Coleman Hammond (157 lbs.) and #14 Matt Williams (197 lbs.).
