“They’re both having good seasons and you can tell that they’ve really improved from last year and both have solidified their lineups. These are two duals that matter for conference-seeding individually and for bragging rights within the conference. They’re important duals and we’re going to have to compete our best on the road, it’s another big challenge for us as a team,” said Wyoming Head Coach Mark Branch.

On the year, Wyoming is 2-4 in dual matches.
