of 113-17 (44-4, 44-3, 25-10). The Hoosiers have come away victorious in five of the last six and

NATIONALLY-RANKED HOOSIERS
As a team, Indiana is ranked 25th (InterMat).
Two Hoosiers are ranked amongst the country's
elite this week (InterMat/WIN Magazine):
#4/6 Taylor Walsh (165 lbs)
#18/15 Nate Jackson (174 lbs)
PIN KING
Redshirt senior Taylor Walsh is continuting
his impressive pinning ways. After leading
the country last season with 26 pins, Walsh is
already well on his way with 13 pins this season.
That brings his career total to 60, which is the
most in IU history.
With 110 career wins, Walsh needs four more to break into the top-ten list in Indiana history. Tied for ninth with 114 are Joe Dubuque (2002-06) and Sam Komar (1975-78).
This season Walsh became Indiana's all-time pin leader. At the end of the 2013-14 season, Walsh was tied with Viktor Sveda (1999-2002) with 47 pins. In his first bout of this season, Walsh captured the record and is only expanding his lead in the record books.
