Lehigh head coach Pat Santoro's next dual meet win will be his 200th as coach of the Mountain Hawks. With one more victory, Santoro would be the second coach to reach 200 dual wins at Lehigh. The legendary Billy Sheridan won 223 duals from 1912-52. Add in 48 dual meet wins at Maryland and Santoro has 247 dual wins in his coaching career.

Seven Lehigh wrestlers appear in the latest rankings from InterMat, FloWrestling and WrestleStat, while five are ranked by Amateur Wrestling News and The Open Mat.

Morgan State is still looking for its first dual win of the season as the Bears enter Friday's match at 0-13 overall and 0-4 in EIWA action. The Bears were in California last weekend where they dropped duals at California Baptist and Cal Poly. In EIWA action, Morgan State has faced Drexel, Navy, Bucknell and Hofstra so far this season. Morgan State has one nationally-ranked wrestler in Eugene Harney, who is 28th at 149 according to InterMat. Harney is currently the only ranked wrestler at 149 in the EIWA. Morgan State is coached by National Wrestling Hall of Fame member Kenny Monday, who was a three-time Olympian and the first black wrestler to win an Olympic gold medal.

Friday's dual marks just the fourth-ever meeting between Lehigh and Morgan State in wrestling. The Bears visited Grace Hall last November. The previous two duals were at the Wolverine Quad in Ann Arbor, Mich., in January 1993 and January 1995. The Morgan State wrestling program was brought back after a dormant period prior to the 2023-24 season. The Bears were announced as the 12th member of the EIWA in September, 2024.

Lehigh will wrestle its final two home duals next weekend as the Mountain Hawks host Penn Friday, Feb. 13 at 7 p.m. and Bucknell Saturday, Feb. 14 at 2 p.m. The Mountain Hawks will honor their senior class prior to the Feb. 14 Bucknell dual.
