Mat Points

• The dual will be spread out over a two-day span. Day one will be a round robin style with two groups of six teams and based on how the teams do on day one will determine what group they are in for day two.
• On day two there will be three different groups. Group one is the first and second place teams, group two is the third and fourth place teams, and group three is the fifth and sixth place teams. The teams in each group will all wrestle each other to have placings within each group. 
• This weekend's duals will be just the fourth one for the Mountaineers and the second countable one. They have competed in three duals this season, but only one has been a countable contest.
• The lone countable dual for Eastern was back on Nov. 6 when the team hosted No. 3 Southern Oregon inside Quinn Coliseum.
• The Mountaineers have competed in four tournaments this season, with the most recent being at the Spokane Collegiate Open. The team finished fourth racking up 98.5 points.
