Hello Everyone!

Sorry about the delay in seeing the results, I really needed some sleep this weekend! :)

Here are the results from Saturday. We only won 1 match against Luther the #7 team in the nation, and got handled by Augustana the #20 team in the nation. In the middle of those was Concordia, who wrestled really well, but the Warhawks prevailed! We will dual Augustana again later in the year...just in case anyone was wondering...

Coming up on Tuesday will be a big day for the Warhawks...3 duals in one night AT HOME! We will be wrestling in Gym 4 not Gym 1 for a new atmosphere! First match will be verses Oshkosh, than MSOE, and finally Wheaton. There should be some great wrestling tomorrow night, try to stop by if you can!!!

Talk to you all soon
