BISMARCK, N.D. - After spending the last month on the road, the University of Mary grapplers will return to the McDowell Activity Center for their first home dual of the 2015 calendar year.
 
The Marauders will return home to host two Northern Sun teams in conference play. First the visiting Southwest Minnesota State University Mustangs will stop by the MAC on Saturday, February 7, and the Augustana College Vikings will pay a visit on Sunday, February 8.
 
The Marauders stumbled a bit in last week's duals; first they took on #2 St. Cloud State University and came away without a match win. Then U-Mary visited St. John's University the next day and dropped another dual with the lone win coming in the heavyweight bout with Travis Smith earning the victory by decision.
 
The Marauders will feature some new faces from their first home dual against Minot State University back in December.
