The Hokies enter the 2016-17 campaign ranked No. 4 by FloWrestling and No. 6 by InterMat after finishing fourth, a program-best, at the NCAA Wrestling Championships last season. Tech also finished with an undefeated ACC dual season and a big victory over Michigan in the inaugural National Duals Championship Series.
Nine NCAA qualifiers, six All-Americans and two defending ACC champions are back for the Hokies including seniors Joey Dance at 125 and heavyweight Ty Walz. Walz will be competing in the prestigious NWCA All-Star Classic for the second-consecutive year on Nov. 5 in his native Cleveland. Also competing on Saturday in the back gym will be All-Americans Zach Epperly, Solomon Chishko and Jared Haught.
The Hokies will open the season at home on Saturday, November 5th, with a doubleheader in Cassell Coliseum, taking on Edinboro and VMI beginning at 1 p.m.
