The match will feature current UNCP wrestlers at each of the ten weight classes, as the coaching staff will evaluate each weight division, which will help determine the 2005-06 probable starters and reserves.
Coach PJ Smith, who is entering his 25th season as Pembroke's head coach, will look to several newcomers to step up and fill the void left by All-Americans Dwayne Coward, Curry Pickard and Aaron Gunning, as well as by team captain Lewis Polley, who is now playing football in the AFL.
The Braves return five starters from last year's squad, including Adam Dedmon (125), Devon Daniels (133), Justin McIntire (174), Derek Brunson (184) and Alfonzo Richardson (197) that finished seventh in the nation in 2005. Brunson is UNCP's top returner, while Andrew Steed (149), who lost in last year's All-American round at Nationals, will redshirt this season.
The UNCP cheerleading squad and dance team will also be on hand to perform, while the Lumberton Gymnastics Club will also be performing at various times during that event.
