FOLEY LEADING THE CHARGE
With a 21-1 record as a true sophomore, Rayvon Foley is on pace to best his win total of 28 from the 2017-18 season with at least 11 events to go in his second year. Foley rattled off 15 consecutive wins to start the season before falling to No. 4-ranked Nick Piccininni of Oklahoma State in the championship round of the Reno Tournament of Champions in December. Since being handed his first loss of the season, Foley has won six consecutive bouts, including four with bonus points (two tech fall, two major decision). On Friday, Foley will face Michigan's Drew Mattin, whom he holds a 3-1 advantage over in their college careers. Mattin took the first meeting between the two, but Foley has won each of the last three.
SCOUTING THE WOLVERINES
Michigan is unbeaten in duals this season with an overall record of 6-0 in addition to a 2-0 mark in the Big Ten. At 125 pounds, Drew Mattin and Rayvon Foley have a history with one another, with Foley holding a 3-1 advantage over Mattin to date. Michigan boasts two of the best in the country and 133 and 141 pounds with Stevan Micic who moved up to No. 1 in the rankings this week, and Kanen Storr who ranks No. 5 at 141 pounds. Micic is a two-time All-American and was the NCAA runner-up last season. The Wolverines will send out either Malik Amine or Ben Lamantia at 149 pounds. Amine defeated the Spartans' Austin Eicher in their only meeting last season. Alec Panatelo has returned for Michigan after missing time earlier in the season and made the move back up to 157 pounds against Illinois last week.
