Season Finale on The Farm
• No. 21 Oregon State will close the regular season with a conference matchup at 15th-ranked Stanford.
• The sides will meet for the 46th time in history with the Beavers holding a 43-4-1 lead in the series.
• During the Pendleton era, the Beavs hold a 2-1 margin. It was the first time a home team had won in the three-season stretch.
• Oregon State has taken seven of the last 10 in the series but Stanford has won two of the last three on their mat.
• Associate head coach Nate Engel was on the Cardinal staff prior to his current role with the Beavers.

Tough Tests in '23/'24
• Including this one, over half (seven out of 12) of the opponents for the Beavers this season have come against a ranked opponent.
• All of the Beavers' setbacks have been to ranked foes, three of which were in the top-seven at the time of the dual.
• Five of the seven duals in 2024 have been against ranked opposition, including top-ranked Penn State and on the road at fourth-ranked Oklahoma State.
• Day one of the season included a come-from-behind win over then-25th-ranked North Carolina on the road in Chapel Hill.

Marvelous Start for Maximo
• In his first bout as a Beav, Maximo Renteria (125) registered his first win in drastic fashion, upsetting then-11th-ranked Richard Figueroa of Arizona State on Sunday afternoon.
• Renteria took the bout by decision with a score of 9-5 after clinching a bonus point thanks to the riding time edge.
• He followed his first win with something a little bit more resounding - a win by fall in last week's nonconference finale at Wyoming.

Accolades Aplenty
• In the first 10 weeks of the season, four Beavs - Gabe Whisenhunt (133), Brandon Kaylor (125), Trey Munoz (184) and Cleveland Belton (141) - have taken the Pac-12's Wrestler of the Week honors. All were received following ranked wins.
• No other school in the Pac-12 has had more than three student-athletes win the league's weekly honor this season.
• After the first weekend of the season, Whisenhunt was selected as the NCAA's Wrestler of the Week to go alongside his Pac-12 nod.

In the Rankings
• As a team, the Beavs check in at the polls at:
                  • NWCA: 21
                  • Intermat: 21
