CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. – In their second dual of the season, the Albion College men's wrestling team hung tough with the No. 10 nationally ranked Wabash College Little Giants. Controlling the middle matches, the Little Giants came away with a 25-12 win.

The Little Giants broke out to a quick 6-0 lead before Josh Mars was able to briefly silence the Wabash momentum. At 133, the sophomore picked up a 7-1 victory for his fourth win of the season.

Max Honiss's takedown with just under 30 seconds left lifted the co-captain to a 14-10 win. With the win, Honiss knocked off the No. 7 ranked wrestler at 149. The junior's win would be the last for the Britons until the 197 matchup.
