-The Chattanooga Mocs wrestling team is back in action Sunday at the Citadel Open. Eighteen Mocs are slated to make the trip covering all 10 weight classes.
A majority of the travel roster are making their first appearances this season for the program. It’s a great opportunity to make an impression with all levels of NCAA and NAIA wrestling in attendance.
“The adjustments from what we missed last weekend,” Coach Kyle Ruschell explained when asked what he was looking for from the group traveling to The Citadel.
“We’re looking at what we focused on this week. That’s pressuring in our ties and finishing our shots, and some of that’s technique.
“But the majority of it is just the extra little bit that it takes to finish it.”
Nine of the 18 Mocs in attendance are seeing their first official action in the Blue & Gold. It is one of two tournament events on the 2022-23 schedule with the other being the prestigious Southern Scuffle (Jan. 1-2).
The Citadel Open is all day Sunday.
