Scouting the Blue Hawks: The Beavers own the 4-3 edge in men's wrestling in the division two era having won the last four duals with the most recent one a 32-19 win in Dickinson. 
 
The Blue Hawks are currently 2-5 on the year in team action and have faced off against arch-rival and the team the Beavers are playing on Thursday the UMary Marauders by a 44-9 score.  Sophomore Tate Nordby was awarded the Heart of America Men's Wrestler of the Week thanks to his efforts in going 4-0 to win the 165-pound bracket at the Dave Edmunds Sioux City Invite this past weekend. The Blue Hawks are also led by senior Kyle Anderson who finished 2^nd in the heavyweight bracket going 3-1 overall on the weekend at the Sioux City Invite. The Blue Hawks also had five others finish in the top five. 
 
Scouting the Marauders: THE BATTLE FOR THE BARREL has been in favor of the Marauders for quite some time as they own the 14-5 record and a 29-12 victory at the MSU Dome back on December 10^th. So, the Beavers are very familiar with the Marauders already, and they've only seemed to have gotten stronger. The Marauders are currently 9-2 overall, however they dropped their matchup against Augustana this past weekend by a 26-7 score. 
 
Following the bout with the Marauders the Beavers will prep for action at the NCAA Super Region Tournament held February 26^th at 10 a.m. in Moorhead, Minn.
