Appalachian State Wrestling Announces 2023-24 Schedule, Season Ticket Info

BOONE, N.C. — App State Wrestling head coach JohnMark Bentley on Tuesday announced a 2023-24 schedule that features a difficult SoCon slate and nonconference dual matches against three opponents with top-10 national rankings, including two that are among the four ACC programs facing the Mountaineers this season.
NC State, North Carolina and Cornell are all coming to Boone, starting with the Friday night season opener against the Wolfpack on Nov. 3 in Varsity Gym and continuing with UNC’s visit on Dec. 17. And like NC State (No. 3 national ranking to end 2022-23) and Cornell (No. 8), road opponent Virginia Tech finished last season in the top 10 of the NWCA Coaches Poll.
The Mountaineers return starters from seven of 10 weight classes following a 12-2 season in which they earned a No. 20 final national dual team ranking, secured a SoCon regular-season title with an 8-0 league record, posted a SoCon sweep by winning the conference tournament and had six wrestlers qualify to compete at the NCAA Championships.

Season tickets for the 10 regular-season competitions (with two doubleheaders and two tournaments) on App State Wrestling’s home schedule are available for $60 (adults). Single-event tickets will be available at a later time.
Families are encouraged to sign up their children to become members of the Junior Mountaineer Kids Club, an exclusive club for children in eighth grade or below.

Families with multiple children receive a discounted membership fee after the first child. 
 In addition to annual tournaments like the Mountaineer Invitational (on Nov. 11) and the Appalachian Open (on Jan. 27), App State will welcome four SoCon league foes to Boone: The Citadel, VMI, Bellarmine and Gardner-Webb (regular-season finale in Varsity Gym on Feb. 25). There will be SoCon road trips to Presbyterian, Campbell (Feb. 2 against the 2022-23 runner-up), Chattanooga (Feb. 11 against the third-place finisher from 2022-23) and Davidson.
 App State, Campbell and Chattanooga have claimed, in some order, the top three spots in the SoCon standings for eight straight years. … rest of the story at … APPstatesports.com/news/2023/9/26/-20-wrestling-wrestling-announces-2023-24-schedule-ticket-info
