Ranked #21 in the NCAA coaches poll, Stanford (10-2, 3-1 PAC-12) welcomes Little Rock as its last conference opponent, having faced every other throughout the season thus far. Stanford's sole conference lost was to #5 Arizona State, falling 12-28, while the other dual loss was to #3 Ohio State. Stanford has a few ranked wrestlers per FloWrestling, none of which were listed in their probables below.
"We're ready for another tough match this week against Stanford," said head coach Neil Erisman. "It is always exciting to wrestle teams like Stanford. They have had a great year and have a really talented team. We have some great match ups that will be fun to watch. It'll be a good way to start our road trip."
The Oregon State Beavers (5-6, 0-2 PAC-12) will compete in back-to-back duals this weekend, hosting California Baptist the evening before they wrestle the Trojans. The Beavers were at the Southern Scuffle in January, placing 18th overall in comparison to Little Rock's 25th. One matchup between the teams occurred at the Scuffle: their 165 starter, Aaron Olmos, bested Will Edgar by a 10-6 decision, and this weekend Edgar will be looking to return the favor.
"We're taking this week one step at a time," added Erisman. "We are focused on Stanford first of course but that doesn't mean we're not excited about our match up in Corvallis. We'll have some individual match ups that will be important for the conference tournament. Overall, it should be a great weekend."
