First NCAA dual to be held outside of North America!
RALEIGH, N.C. – NC State and Oklahoma State will be making NCAA history this upcoming collegiate wrestling season. In January, both programs will be traveling overseas to face off in Italy, the first NCAA dual to be held outside of North America.
The two teams will wrestle January 5 in Naples.
“We’re excited for the opportunity to wrestle in Italy this season,” said Oklahoma State head coach John Smith. “As a program, Oklahoma State has had the opportunity to be a part of many firsts in our sport, and it will be a great experience for our student-athletes to showcase college wrestling overseas for the first time.”
“This was a very exciting dual to get on our schedule,” said NC State head coach Pat Popolizio. “It is very special for us to have our team make this international trip, and expose them to a different culture. Anywhere you wrestle Oklahoma State you are facing one of the top teams year in and year out in the NCAA, but we are also going to have the opportunity to showcase collegiate wrestling to a whole new audience.
