CSUB vs. #10 Arizona State - Sunday, Jan. 7, 2:00 PM

• The Bakersfield Wrestling team is back in the Icardo center this weekend as they take on Arizona State in a dual meet. 
• The Roadrunners had a tough weekend at the Southern Scuffle tournament in Tennessee, but the `Runners will start fresh in the new year with PAC-12 conference competition.

CSUB at Hawai’i (4-6) - Thursday, Jan. 4, 8:00 PM

• After dropping a tough contest against last season’s Big West tournament No. 1 seed, the Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners now make their second furthest road trip of 2023-24 to two-time defending champions, Hawai’i.
• The Rainbow Wahine are off to a difficult start to the 2023-24 season, with notable losses to Santa Clara, Idaho, and Air Force among other tough games against Pac-12 opponents Stanford, Washington, and UCLA.
• However, the `Runners have not defeated Hawai’i since their first year in the Big West with back-to-back victories in January 2021. Last season, the Rainbow Wahine narrowly took the first game in Bakersfield before handedly winning at home.
• Leading veterans as part of UH’s 2023 NCAA Tournament squad, Lily Wahinekapu and Daejah Phillips return to the lineup but no player on the Hawai’i roster is averaging more than 8.9 points per game, as the Wahine lean more on defense thus far in the season.
• Shaunae Brown’s seven-game double digit point streak was spoiled by one point against UC Irvine last week, but she will look to combine with two-way dynamo Jordan Olivares and breakout sophomore forward Julia Riley to upset a Hawai’i squad looking for its third straight conference title.

CSUB vs. Cal Poly - Saturday, Jan. 6, 12:00 PM

• Coming out of the holiday break, the Cal State Bakersfield swim and dive teams will be looking for a change of pace leading into the TYR Pro Series before yet another long mid-season break in competition.
• Last time out, citywide issues with power in Santa Barbara and Goleta prevented the Roadrunners and Gauchos from accurately timing the meet with the electronic equipment, leading to a somewhat impromptu matchup in which both the men’s and women’s team endured tough losses.
• Last year, almost to the day, both of Bakersfield’s squads handedly defeated Cal Poly’s swim and dive teams during a successful dual-meet.
• Earlier this season, Cal Poly participated in the Roadrunner Invite and Sprint Classic, with CSUB’s women enjoying major success while the men were beaten in both, by the team score.
