CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel wrestling team has a busy week ahead as it travels to Buies Creek, North Carolina, for a SoCon dual with Campbell and continues north for the All Academy Championships in Lexington, Virginia. The dual with Campbell will begin at 6 p.m. on Thursday and the All Academy Championships will take place over the entire day Saturday.
Â
The Bulldogs are currently on a three-match skid but have already faced Campbell once this season, earning the 22-17 win earlier in January at the Virginia Duals. In the first meeting between the two schools, the Bulldogs won seven of the 10 bouts. The Camels are 1-11 and 1-2 in SoCon competition after picking up a 24-15 win over VMI.
Â
The 22nd annual All Academy Championships will consist of eight teams with military ties: US Air Force Academy, US Military Academy, US Naval Academy, US Coast Guard Academy, Norwich University, US Merchant Marine Academy and host VMI. Air Force claimed top honors last year with a score of 90.0 and The Citadel finished fourth with a team score of 58.5. Last year's squad earned six top-four finishes and was led by
Ty Buckiso and
Matt Frisch who took home first place at 141 and 149 pounds, respectively.
Marshall Haas, who finished second at 197 pounds, and
Joe Bexley, who took third in the heavyweight division, will have another go at the double-elimination tournament this year.
