Penn State Wrestling Announces 2023-24 Schedule

Seven Home Duals, Monday Night Wrestling in the BJC and the NWCA All-Star Classic in Happy Valley

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.  – The Penn State Nittany Lion wrestling team, under the direction of veteran head coach Cael Sanderson, has announced its 2023-24 schedule. The Nittany Lions will host seven home duals this season, one in the Bryce Jordan Center, and will also serve as the hosts of the 2023 NWCA All-Star event, an exhibition event in Rec Hall. Times for the Big Ten portion of the schedule will be announced soon when the Big Ten Network announces its full wrestling broadcast slate.
Penn State’s official season begins on Sunday, Nov. 12, when the team takes part in the individual round-robin portion of the Journeymen Collegiate Classic in Bethlehem, Pa. The event takes place at Freedom High School and begins at 9 a.m. The next weekend, Penn State travels to West Point, N.Y., for the Army Black Knight Invite, a bracketed individual tournament hosted by Army West Point on Sunday, Nov. 19.
On Tuesday, Nov. 21, Penn State’s Rec Hall will be the site of the 2023 National Wrestling Coaches Association All-Star Classic, an exhibition event that does not count towards any wrestler’s official NCAA record. The matchups for the event will soon be announced in full by the exhibition’s organizer, FloWrestling. While Penn State is serving as the host of the 2023 NWCA All-Star Classic, the event is not part of Penn State’s season ticket package. A number of Nittany Lions are under consideration for the event and information on ticketing will be forthcoming. The event will begin at 7 p.m. Eastern.
The Nittany Lions compete in their first official dual meet on Sunday, Dec. 3, when they welcome Lehigh to Rec Hall at 2 p.m. Penn State then hosts Hofstra in Rec Hall on Sunday, Dec. 10, also at 1 p.m. Following the Hofstra dual, Penn State will not compete in an official NCAA event until January, but many Nittany Lions will look to take part in the 2023 U.S. Senior National Championships on Dec. 15-17 in Fort Worth, Texas. This year’s Senior Nationals replace the U.S. Open in the 2024 Olympic qualification cycle and the tournament is an opportunity to qualify for the 2024 Olympic Trials, also hosted by Penn State in the Bryce Jordan Center in April of 2024. … rest of story at … GOpsusports.com/news/2023/10/2/penn-state-wrestling-announces-2023-24-schedule
