GUNNISON, Colo. – For the first time in three weeks Western Colorado University wrestling will compete at home. The 19^th-ranked Mountaineers host New Mexico Highlands University at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday in the first of three home conference duals.
 
Western (10-4, 2-1 RMAC) enters the weekend having won the last two of three duals, including a 30-13 win over 12^th-ranked Fort Hays State University last Friday.
