DeKALB — Nearly two weeks after several impressive outings Nov. 2 at the Michigan State Open, the NIU wrestling team will start its schedule with three home contests this weekend.
NIU will grapple 7 p.m. Friday against Bucknell University before hosting its annual Huskie Duals competition Sunday.
Head Coach Ryan Ludwig said he’s seen a plethora of improvements from his team since its last competition and hopes those improvements lead to great results this weekend.
“What we’ve really been working on is closing the gap in our hand fights, scoring from our hand fights and creating more scoring opportunities,” Ludwig said.
