The match against the Huskers is set for 2 p.m. MT on Sunday, Nov. 18 at the UniWyo Sports Complex.

Ashworth Aims for No. 100 With 92 career wins heading into the weekend, senior Branson Ashworth has his sights set on breaking the 100-win mark this season. With eight more wins, Ashworth would become the 20th wrestler in school history to reach that career benchmark. Ashworth is just six wins away from breaking onto the program’s all-time wins list, sitting behind Larry Deal who racked up 98 during his career from 1976-80. The Cowboy senior has recorded two consecutive 36-win seasons his last two campaigns. Those totals tie for 14th on the program single-season wins list.

Building Bridges Wyoming’s lone returning All-American Montorie Bridges caught the eyes of the wrestling world as a redshirt freshman when—then ranked No. 20 at 133 pounds—he knocked off No. 3 Kaid Brock of Oklahoma State in the dual against OSU in Cheyenne last Decem-ber. That win set the stage for a stellar rookie season forBridgeswhowentontofinisheighthattheNCAAChampionships, becoming the program’s second fresh-man All-American. Bridges joined Joe LeBlanc as the only freshmen to earnAll-Americanhonorsintheirfirstseason.LeBlanc(184pounds)didsoin2009whenhefinishedinfifthplace. Bridges completed his season with a 35-7 overall record. His 35 wins are tied 16th all-time in a single season for UW.

Young Guns After losing a handful of starters from last season, the Cowboy lineup will feature a handful of new faces. That includes a wave of young talent, as the Pokes’ 12-man season-opening projected lineup features nine wrestlers that are either redshirt freshmen or sopho-mores. While that list includes proven grapplers like redshirt sophomores Montorie Bridges and Sam Turner, six of the 10 weights (125, 149, 174, 184, 197, HWT) this weekend will feature Cowboys who are making theirfirstcareerdualstartatWyoming.

The 7,220 Advantage Training and competing at 7,220 feet has its advan-tages. The Cowboys use their offseason to improve their conditioning, training in various outdoor locations. During the season, the Pokes train in the team wres-tling room with high intensity. That has led to a lot of success on the home mats. Since 1931-32, the Cowboys are 263-160-6 at home, a winning percentage of 62 percent. At neutral sites, Wyoming is 88-57-1 (.607), and 217-197-8 (.522) at away locations.

Big 12’s Best in 2018 Wyoming’s Mark Branch was honored in March as the Big 12 Wrestling Coach of the Year after leading the Cowboys to another successful season. During the recently the2017-18 regular season, the Pokes compiled a 13-3 dual record, including a 7-2 mark against Big 12 foes. Wyoming’s 13 dual victories tied for fourth most in a single season in Cowboy his-tory. Additionally, Wyoming’s winning percentage of 81 percent is the sixth-best in one season.

Branch Hits the Century Win Mark In a 37-3 rout at Air Force last season, head coach Mark Branch picked up his 100th career coaching victory.
