ABOUT THE MATCHES
• Millersville looks to keep its unbeaten dual streak alive Saturday against Lock Haven and Princeton. The Marauders are 2-0 so far in duals--both victories came in Pucillo Gymnasium--and own victories over Delaware State and Wagner. Millersville has been idle for two weeks, giving the team plenty of time to shake off its dissapointing 10th-place finish at the PSAC Championships.
• Five Millersville wrestlers--John Andel, Sean Reed, Jeremy Brooks, Shane Smith and Raymond Bennett--have posted perfect records in duals this season.
• Brooks (9-2), wrestling at 165, was the team's top finisher at the PSAC Championships, posting a 4-1 record to finish third. The 174-pound Smith finished sixth and was Millersville's only other place-winner.
• Dating back to last season, Millersville has won four-straight duals. It closed the 2007-08 campaign with a 28-18 win over Princeton and a 34-14 victory against Franklin & Marshall.
• This year's meeting will be the sixth all-time between Princeton and Millersville. The Tigers hold a slight 3-2 edge, but the Marauders have won two of the last three. The first meeting came during the 1985-86 season. Lock Haven and Millersville are familiar foes, having met 39 times since 1948. But the Bald Eagles have dominated the series, posting a 35-3-1 record against the Marauders and have won 21-straight since Millersville's last win in the 1976-77 seasn (22-21).
ABOUT THE OPPONENTS
• Lock Haven enters Saturday with a 2-3 dual record. The Bald Eagles started 0-2 but picked up a pair of wins over East Stroudsburg and Drexel last week at the LHU Duals.

Both Fittery and 184-pound Tom Kocher placed third at the PSAC Championships. Senior Ben Hepburn was the runner-up at 197 pounds.
• Princeton comes into the tri-meet with 2-6 record and has dropped two duals in a row. The Tigers' last victory came on Dec. 13 against Delaware State (34-12).
