Minnesota began the dual with four victories, claiming a 14-0 lead. Rutgers was able to respond though, winning four of the next five bouts, putting Rutgers in striking range entering the final match. Dylan Anderson, making his second appearance at 197-pounds, stepped up to the challenge and won by decision to seal the victory for the Maroon and Gold at the RAC in Piscataway. We had really good intensity by all ten guys who went out there today, head coach Brandon Eggum said after the dual. Even the matches we lost today, three of those four were matches we should have had. Miles [Patton] did a great job stepping in for us today, almost pulled off the upset at 149. BACK ON THE BIG TEN NETWORK The Gophers will make their final appearance on the Big Ten Network this season when they take on the Maryland Terripans in College Park, Md. The Gophers last faced Maryland in 2016 when Minnesota prevailed at home. KRONE CONTINUES TO MAKE MOVES After two weeks at 197-pounds, the Gophers made the move to put Brandon Krone at 184-pounds against the Iowa Hawkeyes. The move payed off, giving Minnesota four team points at that weight, while redshirt freshman Dylan Anderson moved from 184-pounds to 197-pounds and gave No. 7 Cash Wilcke a run for his money, dropping the match ON THE ROAD AGAIN The Gophers will remain on the road for the remainder of the season. Minnesota will take on some tough opponents for the rest of the season, with two of the final four against currently ranked opponents in Rutgers and Rider. 2

Maryland comes in with just one ranked wrestler, No. 7 Youssif Hemida at heavyweight. Maryland does boast two other former NCAA Qualifiers though. At 149-pounds, Alfred Bannister will wrestle and then at 141-pounds, Tommy Thorn could potentially wrestle Ryan Diehl who made the NCAA Tournament in STARTING GOPHER TOUGH The theme for the Gophers all night against Rutgers was starting fast. In the Gophers six wins, five of them came with the opening takedown. The Gophers 14-0 start, was also the best start to a dual this season for the Golden Gophers. I think the guys showed great intensity to begin matches, and it led to scoring a lot of points. There is no question that the guys who score the opening takedown often win matches, Eggum said. We were just happy to see guys going out there and not focusing on winning, but wrestling the way we want them to wrestle for seven minutes.

6 GOPHER COACHING STAFF HEAD COACH BRANDON EGGUM Brandon Eggum completed his first season as the Gophers head coach in after spending the previous five seasons serving as the program s head assistant coach. This is Eggum's 17th on the wrestling team staff. Prior to assuming an assistant coach role in 2004, Eggum served as the team s strength and conditioning coordinator ( ). Following a decorated career as a Gopher wrestler, Eggum joined the staff in and has since helped train and develop nine individual national champions, 27 individual conference champs and 66 All-Americans. The team success during that time has also been remarkable, a run which has included all three of the program s national titles, five Big Ten championships and seven National crowns. Since joining the staff, Eggum has played a part in national title runs by Luke Becker, Jared Lawrence, Dustin Schlatter and Jayson Ness, as well as two-time champions Damion Hahn, Cole Konrad and Tony Nelson. All seven of those young men also won Big Ten titles with Eggum on staff, but the list of Big Ten champs during Eggum s tenure also includes: Garrett Lowney, Owen Elzen, Ryan Lewis, Leroy Vega, Jacob Volkmann, Mack Reiter, C.P. Schlatter, Roger Kish, Mike Thorn, Kevin Steinhaus, Dylan Ness and Chris Dardanes. The list of All-Americans under Eggum s watch goes on even longer. Prior to his coaching career, Eggum was a four-time letterwinner for the Gophers from 1997 to As a sophomore, Eggum earned an All-America certificate at 177 pounds. In 1999, he bumped up to 184 pounds, where he would place second and third at the next two NCAA Championships, respectively. Eggum also won the Big Ten title at his weight both of those seasons and helped Minnesota win the 1999 Big Ten championship, the program s first since Eggum s name still litters the program s record books as well. His 115 career wins and his.833 career winning percentage (115-23) are both among 25 best in Gopher history, while his 61 dual victories is tied for 12th. As impressive as Eggum was on the mat, he also stood out in the classroom as a four-time Academic All-Big Ten selection. He graduated from the University of Minnesota in May 2000, with a B.S. in Applied Economics. A native of Sidney, Mont., Eggum currently resides in Stillwater, Minn., with his wife Katrina, son Greyson, and two daughters, Lillian and Monroe.
