Coach Hugh Mumby's grapplers tangle with the University of Oregon at Eugene on Feb. 9 and then meet the rugged Oregon State Beavers the following night in Corvallis.

Upon their return, the Spartans complete the busy semester break schedule by taking on Stanford University Feb. 15 at 7:30 pm at Stanford. SJS defeated the Indians 25-3 earlier in the season.
