CHATTANOOGA---The Chattanooga Mocs wrestling team is in action for the final time in 2022 Friday at Gardner-Webb. The Mocs and Bulldogs are not matching up; however, it's SIUE and Clarion on the docket.
 
The Mocs enter at 2-6, while the Cougars (0-2) and Golden Eagles (1-1) have both wrestled in just two duals to date. The coaching staff has their eyes on one thing from Friday's matches after an up-and-down start to the campaign.
 
"We're looking to build on what we saw last weekend," Coach Kyle Ruschell stated. "We want to wrestle every opponent like we did Iowa. Just bring a consistent effort in getting into our ties and forcing our positions and bringing it for the full seven minutes. We've shown we have it in us, we just need to do it week-in, week-out."
 
The matches are schedule for 11 a.m., and 1 p.m. Follow scoring @UTCWrestling on Twitter via the Takedown app or watch on Instagram Live from mat side.
