"It was an OK weekend," said Schwab. "When you get back out in competition, there's some things that you're looking for. We saw some good things, saw some bad things and saw everything in between.

"I did see a lot of fight. The good thing is we had guys that lost but they came back and got third. That's not a position they want to be in, but do they come back if they lost in the semis or lost earlier and win two more matches?

"That's very important for them building for their future and for our future. That's how we want our team to be. No matter what happens ... some adversity happens and we get beat, we still go out there and we battle and we come back strong."

Overall, it was a chance to wrestle against somebody wearing a different singlet, nothing more and nothing less.

"It's about a mile into a marathon," said Schwab. "That's where we are in the season right now."

UNI will send some wrestlers to the Joe Parisi Open in St. Charles, Mo., Saturday before a pair of Sunday dual meets in West Lafayette, Ind., against Indiana Tech and Purdue.
