Wrestlers ranked 9-12 earn two points each, followed by one and a half points for wrestlers ranked 13-16 and one point for those ranked 17-20.

In the OSU-UNI dual on Friday, that could include Panther Parker Keckeisen, ranked No. 2 at 184 pounds, versus the Cowboys’ No. 3-ranked Dustin Plott in a rematch of last year’s NCAA final, won by Keckeisen.
