West Liberty, W.Va. - The West Liberty University men's wrestling team returns to action on Friday, traveling to Gannon University for a tri-meet beginning at 3:30 p.m. at the Highmark Events Center.

Joining the Hilltoppers and host Golden Knights will be East Stroudsburg, setting the stage for a competitive afternoon featuring three nationally ranked programs.

West Liberty enters the weekend with momentum after a 29-10 victory at Frostburg State in its most recent dual and carries an 8-5 dual record into Friday's action. The Hilltoppers also turned in a strong individual showing last weekend, placing two wrestlers at Sunday's Purple Raider Open hosted by Mount Union.
