Fans can watch the entirety of the duals on both mats on the Campbellsville University Sports Network – www.campbellsvilletigers.com/watch.

The Tigers have a solid lineup to feature on Tuesday night with six wrestlers ranked in their respective polls that are wrestling for the varsity matches. CU is throwing out No. 2 – Dayton Marvel (141 lbs.), No. 3 – Marvin Galette (133 lbs.), No. 5 – Ashton Mutuwa (285 lbs.), No. 7 – Michael Diemer (149 lbs.), No. 9 – Jordan Martinez (125 lbs.) and No. 10 – Zach Linton (197 lbs.).

Campbellsville enters with a 3-0 dual record after sweeping the Embry-Riddle Duals last weekend. The Tigers knocked off No. 14 Embry-Riddle, 33-9, Arizona Christian, 32-6, and Vanguard University, 43-3.

Since 2004, the Tigers and Phoenix are meeting for the 17^th time in history. CU has a 14-2 record over Cumberland and the Tigers have won 11-straight.

Against WVU Tech, Campbellsville has allowed only nine points for the Golden Bears in the three previous meetings and outscored them 157-9 in three duals.

Cumberland, which is receiving votes in the NAIA Top 20 poll, has had a steady dose of solid wrestlers at the higher weights and that is true again in 2019-20. Dylan Quinn ranks No. 17 at 165, Nathan Walton is fifth at 174, and John Olivieri is 10^th at 184.

The Phoenix have only competed in one dual thus far and defeated King University, 27-19.
