Wrestling Prepares For Northern Illinois, Truman State
         With the match against Embry-Riddle cancelled due to heavy snow in Chicago, the SIUE wrestling team now heads into its next match having been sidelined for nearly three weeks.
         The Cougars travel to Northern Illinois on Friday for a 7 p.m. match with the Huskies. On Sunday, the Cougars entertain Truman State in a 2 p.m. match.
         SIUE has had a few stabilizing forces on this 3-7 team.
         Zach Stephens (St. Charles, Mo.) leads the team with a 24-12 record. He has split time at both 174 and 184 pounds, but he has now settled at the lower weight class. Omari Johnson (Chicago) also is on the verge of his 20th victory of the season.
