After a productive split of four matches in the NC State
Duals last weekend, Mason will host the Patriot Duals on Saturday at the
Recreation and Athletic Complex. The Patriots
will welcome Davidson, VMI and Cleveland State for a total of five matches on
the day. While continuing to give
experience to the young wrestlers that have been forced to step up, Mason will
also use these duals to prepare for hosting the CAA Duals the following
Saturday.
"With wrestling three teams in a day it will almost be like a
tournament for us," said Head Coach Joe Russell. "Not only will this be good preparation for
the CAA Duals the following weekend, but it will also help us for the Nationals
at the end of the year. The most
important part of this weekend is making sure that everyone who competes is
able to improve on something from their last time on the mat."
There will be two duals taking place simultaneously in the Recreation
and Athletic Complex with no rest between matches. Mason will wrestle in their first dual of the
day against Davidson at 9am with the following matches scheduled to begin at
approximately 10:30am and 12pm.
