Mountain Hawks set for showdown with No. 6 Michigan

Lehigh welcomes the Michigan Wolverines to Bethlehem for a nationally ranked wrestling showdown Thursday night at Leeman-Turner Arena at Grace Hall. The second ranked Mountain Hawks are 4-0 on the season in dual meets and are looking for their second straight victory over a ranked Big Ten opponent. Lehigh defeated No. 17 Penn State on Sunday to claim first place at the inaugural Penn State Dual Championships. This is the first meet of the season for the No. 6 Wolverines, who were 17-3 in dual meets a year ago and placed tenth at Nationals.

Sunday, Lehigh defeated York, Pitt-Johnstown and Penn State to claim the inaugural Penn State Dual Championships. The event, hosted by Penn State was open to all college teams in the state of Pennsylvania. Lehigh posted commanding victories over York and UPJ before beating Penn State 24-15 in the Finals, to win the crown. The tournament win was Greg Strobel’s second regular season tournament championship (2002 Virginia Duals).

The Wolverines lead the All-time series 20-10. The last two years saw Lehigh win in Ann Arbor and Michigan triumph in Bethlehem. Michigan had won six in a row over the Mountain Hawks before Lehigh’s 18-12 win last season.
