CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – UNI wrestling will hit the road to defend its perfect MAC record on the road against conference opponents Ohio and Kent State.

UNI dropped duals to both teams last year, but there will only be two familiar matchups throughout the weekend.

At 133 pounds, UNI's No. 10 Josh Alber will face Ohio's No. 16 Cameron Kelly for the third time in their careers. They each have one win. Alber beat Kelly 10-5 at 2015 Midlands, and Kelly beat Alber 6-0 in a Jan. 31 dual.

At 141 pounds, Tyler Willers lost to Ohio's No. 27 Noah Forrider, 10-4 in a dual.
