"I like where we're at. I think we saw a lot of offense right away," Mocs head coach
Kyle Ruschell said. "Ultimately, we're wrestling against each other, so it's awkward, but I think our guys did a good job. Little details, edge of mat stuff and a few other little details before next weekend and we'll be ready to go."
The season starts on Friday, Nov. 1, at Virginia Tech. The squad then shifts to Salem, Va., for the Southeast Open on Saturday. The first home date is Nov. 23 with Purdue and Princeton visiting Maclellan Gym.
Tickets are on sale. Season tickets start as low as $45 for UTC employees/alumni and $55 for general public. That's for general admission at Maclellan Gym as well as Gold Circle seating at the Roundhouse for the Southern Scuffle.
