The Central Michigan wrestling team needed a lift and a rebound.
The Chippewas got both on Sunday in posting a 26-9 Mid-American Conference dual-meet victory over Buffalo at McGuirk.
The win lifted CMU to 6-4, 3-1 MAC and it came two days after the 17th-ranked Chippewas fell at home to third-ranked Missouri, 29-6. The Bulls are 5-7, 2-3.
“I know we were really disappointed on Friday,” CMU coach Tom Borrelli said. “We wrestled a good team on Friday, you can’t take anything away from them, but we’re better than that. We talked about that in the locker room after the match, not to lose any confidence.
