DURHAM, N.C.—Duke University wrestling head coach Glen Lanham has announced the 2016-17 schedule. The Blue Devils will wrestle at home four times, including against Big Ten foe Wisconsin and ACC rival North Carolina.  Duke kicks off the campaign, the fifth for Lanham, with the annual Hokie Open Nov. 6 in Roanoke, Va. The Blue Devils captured three Hokie Open titles a year ago, including ones from returning wrestlers Jake Faust and Connor Bass.  The Blue Devils open dual action the following weekend, Nov. 12, against Oregon State and Coker College at Appalachian State. Those matches are set to begin at 12 and 2 p.m., respectively. It is the first meeting between Duke and the Beavers, while Oregon State is third Pac-12 wrestling programs the Blue Devils have faced under Lanham.  A week later, Nov. 19, Duke will make its home debut in Card Gymnasium against Big Ten foe Wisconsin for the first time in program history. Duke defeated a pair of Big Ten opponents during the 2014-15 season and upset a ranked Purdue squad last season. The Badgers finished 23rd at the 2016 NCAA Championships and eighth at the grueling Big Ten Championships. The match with Wisconsin will be the ninth different Big Ten program Duke has wrestled under Lanham.  Rest of story at http://www.goduke.com//ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=4200&ATCLID=211157616&mc_cid=f1d8c3f76e&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
