First Take
"This crew specifically has gone through a lot both on and off the mat. Injuries, the loss of a teammate and just a lot of adversity. They've really shown what kind of men they're going to be moving forward, and that they can handle adversity. And that ultimately is what we as coaches try to get out of them through this process. It's to help them grow as men. So proud of these guys. They're all fighters, and I'm excited to see their next stages." – Coach Kyle Ruschell on Senior Day honorees & their impact on the program over the last 4-5 years

Featured Bout
Indiana: 184. Kamdyn Munro faces No. 19 DJ Washington with an opportunity to climb in the rankings. Washington's 19th is in the NCAA RPI so a win Friday would be a huge boost for Munro's potential NCAA chances. Runner-up? 133's battle of two wrestlers in the top 12 of the RPI with No. 12 Blake Boarman matching up with No. 10 Angelo Rini.
 
Bellarmine: 184. This is the battle for top seed at the SoCon Championships. Devin Hendricks joins Munro at 7-0 in the league. It doesn't get much better than that. Hendricks is No. 25 in the NCAA RPI released last week.
 
Final Thought: "Kam has to do what he's been doing. Keep going out there and expect to dominate, not just go out there to win. When he does (just go out hoping to win), he sits back and is not as good as he is when he's moving forward, pressuring guys getting to his ties and being the guy that is out there trying to dominate. This is an opportunity that could just set him up for not only the conference, but potentially a good seed at the national tournament too." – Ruschell on featured bouts
