The Virginia wrestling team will make its home debut this weekend as it takes on UNC-Greensboro, Rutgers and Appalachian State.
The Cavaliers have had a rough start to the season, beginning 5-6 (0-0 ACC) while wrestling against five top-25 opponents and sustaining several key injuries. Sophomore Chris Henrich leads the team with a 23-1 record on the season. Junior Brent Jones (17-4) and freshman Jedd Moore (19-8) have helped shoulder the load, stepping up their performances in recent weeks.
Following this weekend’s home match, the Cavaliers will hit the road, not returning to Charlottesville for a match until the middle of February.
The Cavaliers take on UNC-Greensboro (2-7, 2-0 Southern Conference) at 1 p.m. Saturday, Rutgers (12-4, 5-1 EIWA) at 3 p.m. Saturday and Appalachian State (4-9, 0-1 Southern Conference) at 2 p.m. Sunday. All three matches will take place at Memorial Gymnasium.
