ABOUT THE MARAUDERS
• The No. 18-ranked Millersville University wrestling team makes its 2018 home debut on Friday at Pucillo Gymnasium. After a 1-2 start to the 2018-19 season, the Marauders will be back in action this weekend against Mercyhurst at 7 p.m.
• Friday is the final tune-up for the the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championships on Dec. 8. Millersville won its first dual against Delaware Valley 21-14, before losing to No. 6 Pitt-Johnstown (30-6) and No. 21 Seton Hill (29-13).
• 2018 All-American and fourth-ranked redshirt senior Shane Ruhnke (165) is off to a 2-0 start this season. Ruhnke triumphed over two nationally-ranked individuals in Pitt-Johnstown's fifth-ranked Devin Austin and Seton Hill's seventh-ranked Damon Greenwald. Ruhnke captured a 12-6 decision victory against Austin. The 165-pound bout was a rematch from 2017 NCAA Super Region 1 dual where Austin won 12-8. The next day, Ruhnke bumped up to the 174-pound class for a 23-8 tech fall. 
• Freshman Reece Muldoon (174) leads the squad in victories with six, entering the weekend with a 6-2 record. Muldoon placed fifth in the Washington and Lee Invitational. Muldoon also leads the team in pins (2)--one coming against Lycoming's Ryan Bohringer at 6:08 mark and Pitt-Bradford's Nick Distefano 18 seconds into the bout.
• Senior Colton Dull (197), ranked sixth in Division II, has a team-leading three technical falls, which account for all of his wins. 
• Head coach Kerry Regner looks to begin the dual off strong with Connor Sheehan, who has two of his three duals matches at the 125-pound weight class. Sheehan's last dual victory came from the Seton Hill matchup where he won, 13-6.
• There are three key projected match-ups for this dual at the 125-, 165- and 285-pound weight classes. None of the six wrestlers have faced off before.
• In the heavyweight battle, the region's No. 4 Wuestner wrestles the region's No. 1 and nation's No. 8 Jake Robb. Robb is a former All-American coming off a 23-7 season.
• Sheehan will face off against No. 6 Eric Bartos who was a national qualifier last season.
• The No. 1 and No. 2-ranked 165-pound wrestlers in Super Region 1--Ruhnke and Logan Grass--meet for the first time. Grass finished last season with a third-place finish in the Super Region 1 Championships and was a national qualifier.

SCOUTING THE OPPONENTS
• Two Lakers are nationally-ranked in the NCAA Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) Poll. Eric Bartos placed sixth in the 125-pound weight class, coming off a rookie season which included a 26-10 record, and also a national qualifier. In addition, he was named Super Region 1 Freshman of the Year and placed third in the Super Region 1 Tournament. Eight-ranked Robb went 23-7 in his first year in the lineup, winning the Embry-Riddle Open and placing fifth at the Super Region 1 Tournament.
• The Lakers come to Millersville for their first dual match of the season.
• Mercyhurst returns five double-digit match winners from a year ago in Bartos (26-10), Kevin Kinyua (23-15), Logan Gass (26-10), Wes Phillips (21-10) and Robb (23-7).
• The Lakers are returning back to action from wrestling at the Findley Open. Robb placed second while Bartos and Gavin Wilkerson took third in their respective weight classes.
• Robb had a 4-1 record on the day, recording two pins in the process. He defeated Midway's Gavin Hunt in 52 seconds and then took a 12-0 major decision against Jacob Cover of Kent State. Robb continued his success with a 3:00 pinfall victory over Gannon's Garret Reinwald in the quarterfinals and then a 4-1 decision against Ohio University's Jordan Earnest before falling by decision in the championship match to Kameron Teacher of Notre Dame (Ohio), 10-6.
