MOORHEAD, Minn. – The Minnesota State University Moorhead wrestling team is on the road this week for its lone dual match – but will only have to travel a few blocks as the Dragons will compete at in-city rival Concordia for a nonconference dual on Tuesday. The dual begins at 7 p.m. at Concordia’s Memorial Auditorium.
MSUM enters the dual with an 8-5 mark, while Concordia is 5-5. It is the Dragons’ lone action of the week, as they resume NSIC action on Feb.13 at Augustana.
The two teams met in an exciting dual a year ago at Alex Nemzek Hall as the Cobbers edged the Dragons, 20-18 thanks to a pin in the final match.
