BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Indiana wrestling team's match against Eastern Illinois has been rescheduled for Sunday, Jan. 14, at 2 p.m. EST in Charleston, Ill. The match had originally been scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 13.
Indiana will bring a perfect 8-0 record with it to Charleston. The dual meet will represent the Hoosiers' final non-conference dual meet before Big Ten action begins. IU hosts Purdue in its Big Ten opener on Friday, Jan. 19, at 7 p.m. at University Gym.
The Hoosiers are coming off a strong performance at the Midlands Championships, where they finished fifth as a team out of 56 participants, and redshirt freshman Angel Escobedo took the title at 125 pounds. Escobedo is IU's first Midlands Champion since Pat DeGain won the heavyweight title in 2004 and the first freshman to win Midlands since Mark Perry of Iowa and Jake Herbert of Northwestern won in 2004.
