Indiana’s home quad meet is the season’s last non-conference duals action
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Hoosiers are back at home for the fifth week of the wrestling season, hosting the Hoosier Duals quad meet. After going 2-1 in last weekend's quad meet, the IU Duals, Indiana turns around to host a trio of non-conference opponents from the Midwest: Northern Illinois, SIU-Edwardsville, and Cleveland State. This slate concludes Indiana's non-conference dual meet schedule as they enter Big Ten action next weekend.
The meet will take place on two mats, with IU remaining on Mat 1 throughout the meet, and the first session will commence at 10:00 a.m. ET. Teams will receive a ten-minute intermission between each session. Indiana's mat will feature a live stream on BTN Plus and FloWrestling, along with live point-by-point stats on TrackWrestling.
Hoosiers Get Two at IU Duals
Indiana began their home schedule last weekend against Eastern Michigan, Binghamton, and Indianapolis in the IU Duals. The Hoosiers went 2-1 on the day, picking up decisive wins over the Eagles and Greyhounds with a loss to Binghamton in between.
Cole Weaver (141) continued a surging start to his season with a 3-0 day, including a pin in his final match. Jake Danishek (157) made an emphatic return to the mat with three wins in his first three matches of the year, scoring two pins.
Harboring Podium Places
In their most recent tournament action, Indiana traveled to Annapolis for the Navy Classic, hosted by the United States Naval Academy. They left with five podium finishes, led by runner-up results from Bryce Martin (165) and Devin Skatzka (174).
Cole Weaver (141) amassed an impressive day with a third-place finish and two wins over ranked opponents, pinning No. 10 Tyler Smith (Bucknell) in the second period. Elijah Oliver (125) and Garrett Pepple (133) rounded out the group with fourth-place podium spots.
IU Wrestling in the Rankings
Currently the Hoosiers have two wrestlers in the national rankings, led by Cole Weaver (141) at No. 13 (Open Mat) and No. 16 in the latest InterMat polls. Weaver also grabbed his first rankings from TrackWrestling at No. 22.
Devin Skatzka (174) is back in the national rankings, his highest at No. 18 (The Open Mat). Skatzka, who also crept into the rankings as a freshman last season, is 19th in the latest Amateur Wrestling News poll and 25th in the TrackWrestling rankings.
IU Duals Overview
Saturday's quad meet will see representation from the Big Ten, Mid American Conference, the Eastern Wrestling League, and the Southern Conference when Northern Illinois, SIU Edwardsville, and Cleveland State come to University Gymnasium.
The Hoosiers and Huskies take the mat together for the first time since the 2012-13 season, with Indiana leading the overall series 12-4. Indiana is 3-0 at home against Northern Illinois and they've won five of the last six meetings, but the Huskies won the most recent meet five years ago in Dekalb, Illinois.
SIU Edwardsville is a familiar non-conference foe for Indiana, as the teams wrestle their 35th dual meet on Saturday morning. The Hoosiers lead the all-time series, 27-7, and they've won the last 24 meetings. Indiana topped the Cougars 21-16 in Edwardsville, Illinois last season.
