PHOENIX – For the final match of the season, the GCU wrestling team will head to Utah Valley. At 5-18 on the season, the Lopes will travel to dual the Wolverines in Orem, Utah Saturday, Feb. 20 at 7 p.m. MT.
Freshman 174-pounder Kenny Moore, GCU's leader in victories this season, looks for his 16th win on the year. Earning the victory in seven of his last eight matches, Moore is the hottest Lope entering this weekend after posting a perfect 9-0 record in January.
With the final dual of the season this weekend, the Lopes have three wrestlers with double-digit wins. Including Moore, freshman Trayton Libolt (125 pounds) and redshirt-sophomore Daniel Chaid (197) have 12 and 11 victories, respectively, on the year. Standing at nine wins, junior Austin Gaun (184) could find himself with double-digit victories this weekend.
On the other side of the mat, the 3-10 Wolverines will enter the dual Saturday with a 3-0 series advantage after earning a 30-6 victory at GCU last season. Seniors Chasen Tolbert (ranked 18th nationally at 125 pounds) and Jade Rauser (133) lead the Wolverines on the year with 16-5 and 16-4 records, respectively. Tolbert holds UVU's all-time victories with a career record of 69-28.
Next up, the Lopes will prepare for the National Collegiate Open on Saturday, March 5 in Cleveland, Ohio.
