Admission to that event, as well as all home dual meets, is free. The Braves will kick off their newest campaign on November 2 when they head to Franklin Springs, Ga., for the Emmanuel-hosted Georgia Open, but will lift the lid on the home portion of their slate just more than a week later with the 39^th Annual Pembroke Classic. The Black & Gold will appear in front of the home fans again just more than two weeks later when they battle Limestone on November 26 at 7 p.m. UNCP will load the buses in mid-December for the first of three long road trips when it treks to Indianapolis, Ind., for the UIndy-hosted Midwest Classic. The Braves will compete inside Las Vegas’s Flamingo Hotel & Casino on December 22 as part of the Wartburg College-hosted Desert Duals. That trip will be dwarfed only by one to Kansas and Colorado in early January for a dual meet at Fort Hays State, as well as an appearance in the Tracy Borah Duals on the campus of Western Colorado.
