MICHIGAN OVERCOMES @ILLINIWRESTLING
The Fighting Illini came out strong against W.I.N Magazine's ninth-ranked team, winning four of the first six matches. However, Michigan's strength at the four heaviest weight classes proved too much for the grapplers from Champaign. The Wolverines ended the match on a 17-0 run to win the dual 25-14, including bonus points at three of the final four weight classes. The loss drops the Illini to 1-3 in Big Ten duals, each of which have come at the hands of a top-10 team. Isaiah Martinez  earned his 14thtechnical fall of the season, pushing his winning streak to 60 matches.
