    Chattanooga releases schedule

    University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wrestling head coach Heath Eslinger announced the 2010-11 schedule today. Highlighting the slate are three opponents that finished in the top-25 at last year's NCAA Championships, including a Nov. 26 trip to three-time defending NCAA Champion Iowa.

    The Mocs are set to host five home matches, face eight opponents on the road and compete in one dual tournament and three open events. UTC opens the season with the annual Blue & Gold Match on Thursday, Oct. 28 at Maclellan Gym.

    "I am excited about this year's schedule," stated Eslinger who is entering his second season as coach of the Mocs. "I would like to have one more home match, but we have a chance to wrestle Iowa that we cannot turn down. They are going to give us a return date in one of the next two years, so that makes our future home schedule look even better."

    The regular season begins with a match against Kent State on Nov. 6 in Winston-Salem, N.C. The Golden Flashes finished 25th at last year's NCAAs. Chattanooga continues the weekend swing with the Hokie Open in Blacksburg, Va., on Nov. 7.

    The Mocs open the regular season home schedule with a Nov. 7 double header against Liberty and Cumberland. Action begins at 2:00 p.m. in Maclellan Gym. UTC will be on the road for the rest of the calendar year with trips to Gardner-Webb and the ACC Challenge in Chapel Hill, N.C., on Nov. 20-21. The visit to the Hawkeyes closes out the November action.

    Chattanooga's two dates in December include a west coast swing to Stanford on Dec. 18 in Palo Alto, Calif. The Mocs will also take part in the Reno Tournament of Champions on Dec. 19 in Reno, Nev.

    The new year begins with a Jan. 3 match at Ohio. The Mocs will also take part in the Virginia Duals on Jan. 7-8 in Virginia Beach, Va. UTC ends the long road swing with a Jan. 15 trip to Missouri. The Tigers finished 10th at last year's NCAA Championships.

    The Mocs' return home on Jan. 30 to face Southern Conference foe The Citadel at 2:00 p.m. in Maclellan Gym. They are back on the road Feb. 5-6 with back-to-back matches at UNC Greensboro and Appalachian State.

    The regular season concludes with a pair of SoCon home meets. The Mocs host Davidson on Feb. 13 and VMI on Feb. 20. Both matches are scheduled for 2:00 p.m. in Maclellan Gym.

    Appalachian State will serve as the host for the 2011 SoCon Championships on March 5 in Boone, N.C. The NCAA Tournament is set for March 17-19 in Philadelphia, Pa.
