The Wolverines begin a stretch of three home duals in the next week when they host South Dakota State Saturday in the Activity Center at 7:00pm. Then on Tuesday, February 7th, North Dakota State comes to town before Portland State ends the week on Saturday afternoon at 2:00pm.
"Both of these teams will provide us with a tremendous challenge," said Utah Valley head coach Cody Sanderson. "They are both matches that could likely come down to bonus points."
Utah Valley has won its last three duals, including a 24-15 win last week at Adams State.
Junior 125-pounder Talon Vickers has an eight match winning streak for the Wolverines. He topped #7 (D-II) Rob McCabe last week 8-6 to continue that streak.
