Wrestling will make their way to Annapolis, Maryland this weekend to wrestle in the Navy Classic Open, hosted by the Naval Academy.  This will be Mason's third open tournament of the young season and Head Coach Joe Russell is pleased with the progress his team has made so far in his first season.

"Our guys will need to be ready to compete because we will be facing very tough competition," said Russell.  "We will be given a team score in this event so it will be nice to see exactly how well we stack up against the opposing teams."

Mason will face off against six teams (Navy, Bucknell, The Citadel, Franklin & Marshall, West Virginia and Gardner Webb) in this open, which is scheduled to begin at 10am.  Fans may park at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium for $5 and take a shuttle bus to the Academy. Buses will run every 15 minutes starting one hour before each match and will continue running throughout the event.

"Hopefully some of the guys will have family members that can come out and support them since we will be pretty close to home," reflected Russell.  "I'm just excited for the guys to have another opportunity this weekend to show off how hard they are working and how much they are improving each week."
