Scouting the opposition
No. 22 Lehigh (11-6, 5-0 EIWA)
The 22nd-ranked Mountain Hawks enter Saturday riding an eight-dual winning streak that began on January 10 with a ranked 20-17 victory over then-No. 20 Cornell.
ASU and Lehigh previously met on Nov. 15, 2025, at the National Duals Invitational in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where the Sun Devils fell, 24-18, in the consolation bracket to be eliminated from contention.
Notably, Saturday marks the first time ASU has faced the same opponent twice in a season since meeting Oklahoma twice during the 2018-19 campaign.
The Sun Devils trail the all-time series, 8-3, even though the Mountain Hawks have not won in Tempe since Feb. 9, 2018.
A key matchup to watch will take place at 165 pounds, where No. 9 Max Brignola and No. 12 Nicco Ruiz are set for a rematch after Brignola edged Ruiz in overtime earlier this season.
