The Mocs are set to host five home matches, face eight opponents on the road and compete in one dual tournament and three open events. UTC opens the season with the annual Blue & Gold Match on Thursday, Oct. 28 at Maclellan Gym.
"I am excited about this year's schedule," stated Eslinger who is entering his second season as coach of the Mocs. "I would like to have one more home match, but we have a chance to wrestle Iowa that we cannot turn down. They are going to give us a return date in one of the next two years, so that makes our future home schedule look even better."
