"I am very pleased with the way this year's schedule came together. It is still very competitive but it will also help us get a very young team ready for March."
This years schedule features trips to major tournaments such as the Reno Tournament of Champions and the Southern Scuffle. The Citadel will be traveling to a few very competitive open tournaments as well as hosting their own, The Citadel Open, to help the young team gain experience. Highlighting the schedule are seven home dual matches affording wrestling enthusiasts the opportunity to check out the Bulldogs from November through February.
The Cadets will open their season during Homecoming weekend, Nov. 3, in McAlister Field House at 7 p.m. as they host George Mason. The Homecoming wrestling action will continue through Sunday, Nov. 4, with The Citadel Open, a tournament for freshman and sophomores from around the region.
The Bulldogs will be competing against the nation's top competition in December at the Reno Tournament of Champions in Nevada. The tournament schedule will be in full force through the end of the year, closing out 2007 with the Southern Scuffle in Greensboro, N.C. The Citadel could face as many as 13 of the top 25 ranked teams in the country between these two highly touted tournaments.
Southern Conference wrestling action will begin with a trip up to UNC Greensboro on Jan. 6, and continues with the Bulldogs' hosting No. 19 ranked Chattanooga at home in McAlister Field House on Jan. 22 at 7 p.m. The Citadel will host Appalachian State on Feb. 9 and close out their home schedule with Senior Day on Feb. 12, against Davidson.
Mat Jam 2008, the Southern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference Championships, will take place on March 8, in Chattanooga, Tenn. The Bulldogs will look to the conference tournament to qualify their cadet-student-athletes for the NCAA Championships in St. Louis from March 20-22.
