MANHEIM, Pa. | National Wrestling Coaches Association - McKendree University men's wrestling (2-1, 1-0 GLVC) returns to action this upcoming weekend at the annual NWCA National Duals championships and enter the duals tournament as the fifth seed. The Bearcats head into the national duals tournament following the holiday break with the last outing being the 45th Midwest Classic, which saw a fourth-place finish behind four places and one champion in the biggest NCAA Division II tournament of the season. The No.6 Bearcats own a 2-1 record in duals so far this season as they opened the year with a dominant win over KWC before narrowly dropping to then-No.2 UCO and closed out first semester dual bouts with a big road win at Indianapolis. The 2025 NWCA National Duals championship takes place on January 10-11 in Cedar Falls, Iowa at the UNI Dome, and will featured seven divisions of wrestling between the NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA.

No.6 / 5-Seed McKendree will begin its National Duals weekend on Friday, January 10 at 10:00AM on Mat 11 against No.10 West Liberty.
