Cougars Travel to CMSU
The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville wrestling squad has one dual remaining before its Regional meet. It travels to Central Missouri State Tuesday to take on the Mules in a 7 p.m. dual.
“Central Missouri is in our region,” said Coach Booker Benford, “so this dual is important because we need to beat them to get a higher seed in the Regionals.”
Benford indicated the team will once again be short-handed in a few weight classes, thus he will concentrate on individual victories instead of a team victory.
“Just like the recent duals, this will be used as a fine-tuner for Regionals,” Benford said. “Each guy is going to have to wrestle tough for seven minutes against Central, because they are a tough team to compete against.”
Zach Stephens (St. Charles, Mo.) is currently third in the nation at 174 pounds. He has a record of 25-10 this season.
