ERIE, Pa. - The Gannon University wrestling team will face 17th-ranked Ashland at the Hammermill Center Thursday, February 5. The match is set to begin at 7 p.m.

Last season, AU beat Gannon 21-17 on February 13. McGrath and Kevin McElhaney (Jamestown, Pa./Jamestown Area) were among Knights to win their matches against the Eagles.
