“I think we have a very good, young team that is hungry for success. Our athletes are working hard and willing to do whatever it takes to get to the next level. We will put a very competitive person on the mat at every weight. We think that we are good enough to compete for a MAC Championship by the end of the year. We have big matchups within the conference with Central Michigan, Northern Illinois, and Buffalo. We have big home matches with non-conference teams like West Virginia, Indiana, and Navy.†- Head Coach Joel Greenlee
