PLEASANT HILL, Iowa – UNI wrestling heads to the Grand View Open for its second weekend of competition Saturday.

"You try to make sure that everyone has effort and hustle and fight across the board, and I think as a group, that's something we can do a much better job of up and down the lineup," said head coach Doug Schwab. "I can you, moving forward this weekend, that is one thing we are going to key on."
