The dual will be the first battle between top-25 teams in Laramie since 2015, when the 19th-ranked Cowboys hosted No. 17 Oregon State—a dual that Wyoming would go on to win, 21-17.

Last time out in dual action, the Wyoming wrestling team picked up a couple of wins at the Northeast Classic, rattling off back-to-back convincing wins over Virginia and Edinboro. The Cowboys (2-0) opened the day with a 21-9 victory over Virginia before returning to the mat just 20-plus minutes later to outgun Edinboro, 33-6.
