Back to the Pac
• No. 16 Oregon State will return to action and close the home slate with a Pac-12 dual against Cal Poly.
• The Beavers will look to get revenge on the Mustangs after Cal Poly took a 19-15 win in last season's meeting in San Luis Obispo. Cal Poly used decisions at 197 and HWT to pull away for the win to snap a lengthy skid in the series that dated back to the 2011-12 season.
• OSU and Cal Poly will meet for the 71st time on Friday in a series which the Beavs hold a 46-12-12 lead.
• The Beavers will look to start 2-0 in Pac-12 play for the second consecutive season

OSU vs. OSU
• Oregon State and Oklahoma State will meet for the 22nd time in history in a series that is led by the Cowboys.
• They met last year in front of 6,674 (formerly the record wrestling crowd in Gill) where the Pokes won, 20-12.
•Sunday's dual marks the second time in the Pendleton era that the Beavs will meet the Cowboys in Gallagher-Iba Arena, the first meeting was during the 2020-21 season, the first under Pendleton.

Cowboy Connections
• Coach Pendleton was a decorated wrestler for the Cowboys at 174 lbs. from 2001-05, winning two individual titles (2004, 05), a three-time All-American (2003-05) and four consecutive team national titles (2001-05).
• Pendleton capped his final season with a 33-1 record that had a 19-0 mark in duals with 10 pins and eight techs.
• Trey Munoz's father, Mark, was a national champion and two-time All-American and teammate of Pendleton's on the Cowboys.

Record Crowd in the Home Opener
• 8,540 members of Beaver Nation packed into Gill Coliseum to see the Beavers battle top-ranked Penn State on Jan. 5th. The attendance broke the previous high (6,674) set in last season's dual vs. No. 12 Oklahoma State.

Accolades Aplenty
• In seven weeks of the season, three Beavs - Gabe Whisenhunt (133), Brandon Kaylor (125) and Trey Munoz (184) - have taken the Pac-12's Wrestler of the Week honors. All were received following ranked wins.
• Whisenhunt took down then-No. 4 Sam Latona of Virginia Tech on the way to taking the individual crown at the Southeast Open while Kaylor defeated then-No. 11 Drake Ayala of Iowa in the dual against the Hawkeyes and Munoz defeated then-No. 2 Bernie Truax of Penn State.
