Last time out
The Sun Devils are coming off a tri-dual split, going 1-1 with an 18-17 upset win over then-No. 22 Cornell, before falling to Columbia, 24-15, on Saturday, Jan. 31.
Senior 184-pounder Azizbek Fayzullaev headlined the afternoon for ASU with a crucial win by fall to put six team points on the board for the Maroon and Gold to fuel the comeback win over Cornell.
The Sun Devils dropped the second match against Columbia despite graduate heavyweight David Szuba adding his second win of the day - the only ASU wrestler to go 2-0 across both matches. Redshirt junior Carter Dibert (133 lb.) also notched his first win of the season.
Amidst the tri-dual, ASU sent an additional seven wrestlers to compete in the annual Edinboro Open. Freshman heavyweight Ben Szuba continued to impress in his rookie campaign, going 4-0 to claim first place in the heavyweight division. He now moves to 12-2 on the season with eight bonus-point wins in addition to two tournament championships (Edinboro Open, Reno TOC).
