SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Drury wrestling hosts its final two home duals of the season against Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) opponent Maryville and William Woods on Saturday, Jan. 17, starting at 4 p.m.
 
The Panthers are coming off a 29-12 GLVC loss to Indianapolis on Wednesday, Jan. 7, as well as the Tom Smith Open on Jan. 11, where Hunter Tennison claimed the heavyweight title and several others placed. 
 
Drury is still seeking its first GLVC win of the season. The Panthers take on Maryville, who are receiving votes in the latest National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) poll, in their first match. The Saints are 4-7 this season and 0-1 in GLVC play.
