Pitt (3-8, 1-3 EWL) will host their last EWL conference match for the 2005-06 season against Edinboro (9-0,3-0 EWL) tonight, Feb. 17. This match will conclude their dual matches before heading into EWL Championships.

Earlier this season at the Southern Scuffle, Pitt's Justin Nestor (Transfer, Pa./Reynolds) and Edinboro's Deonte Penn faced each other with Nestor winning by fall against Penn at the 5:40 mark. The Fighting Scots' Gregor Gillispie and the Panthers' Joey Ecklof (Northampton, Pa./Northampton) also wrestled each other at the Southern Scuffle with Gillispie coming out victorious.

Pitt's Ronald Tarquinio (McDonald, Pa./West Allegheny) and Edinboro's Rick McLaughlin faced each other twice last year with one bout being in the EWL Championships. Tarquinio came out on top winning both match ups. Another highly anticipated match will feature Pitt's Mike Ciotti (Latrobe, Pa./Greater Latrobe) and Edinboro's No. 1 ranked Shawn Bunch at 133 pounds.

The match will start at 7:30 p.m. at the Fitzgerald Field House.
