KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Eastern Oregon University's men's wrestling team has secured the 18th spot in the most recent NAIA Men's Wrestling Coaches' Top 20 rankings. The latest rankings, released by the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA), reflect the outstanding performance of Eastern Oregon's wrestlers and their recent victories.

The Cascade Collegiate Conference, to which Eastern Oregon belongs, demonstrates its strength with six teams securing positions in the top twenty of the rankings. The competitive landscape of the conference has undoubtedly played a role in Eastern Oregon's success, with the team winning their last five duels.

Eastern Oregon's impressive run also includes a significant victory over the 11th-ranked Embry-Riddle, defeating the Eagles 27-21 in Prescott.

The Mounties return to Quinn Coliseum this evening to face Big Bend at 6 p.m. Tonight's contest also marks Senior Day for both Eastern Oregon men's and women's wrestling. Make sure to come and support the Mounties as we honor them for their contributions to the program and EOU athletics.
