Season outlook:
New head coach Efrain Ayala is taking over the Oshkosh team after spending two years as an assistant with the Titans. The team is led by two time NCAA Champion and 2013 d3wrestle.com Wrestler of the Year Nazar Kulchytskyy. He will be a heavy favorite to win a third title to close out his career. At the next weight up, two time qualifier Dan Schiferl will be going for his first All-American award after losing in the round of 12 last season. Tyler Wetenkamp and Brandon Clapper are also returning placewinners in the West Region. The incoming class is led by transfer Thomas Allen of MSU-Mankato, a former Wisconsin state champ who logged a win last year over the 2013 DIII champ at 149 Greg Sanders of Concordia.
