Wrestling Releases Non-Conference Slate
9/14/2024 10:53:00 AM | Wrestling
MINNEAPOLIS – With the season less than two months away, the Minnesota wrestling program has unveiled its 2024-25 non-conference schedule, head coach Brandon Eggum announced.
The Golden Gophers begin the year on Nov. 9 as they split up to take part in two open tournaments. Fifteen Minnesota wrestlers will head to the Mountaineer Invite hosted by Appalachian State, while the rest of the squad will travel to Fargo, N.D., for the Bison Open.
The home opener is slated for Nov. 15 as Bucknell visits in a return trip from a year ago when the Gophers won on the road over the Bison, 37-3, in the Gophers' first dual of the season.
Two days later, Minnesota takes part in the Daktronics Open, hosted by South Dakota State. Last year at the event, Hunter Lyden and Max McEnelly took home individual titles.
The first road dual of the season sends the Gophers back to Fargo when they face North Dakota State on Nov. 22. The teams met last year in Minneapolis with the Gophers dominating, 33-7.Â
Minnesota's final non-conference dual sees them host Campbell on Nov. 24 in the first ever matchup between the schools.
December opens with a return trip to Brookings, S.D., for a road dual against the Jackrabbits of South Dakota State on Dec. 1. Minnesota prevailed last season in Minneapolis, 19-13.
The non-conference slate then closes out with two more open tournaments as Minnesota is scheduled to take part in both the Cougar Clash hosted by SIU-Edwardsville (Dec. 7) and the Soldier Salute in Iowa City (Dec. 29-30) for the second year in a row.
At last year's Cougar Clash, McEnelly and Andrew Sparks won titles, while McEnelly, Isaiah Salzar and Bennett Tabor all claimed first place and the team finished second at the Soldier Salute a year ago.
Season tickets are on sale now for Gopher wrestling, while single-match tickets will be available in October. Streaming and televised designations will also be announced at a later date.
