MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has announced the 2023-24 wrestling schedule.

"I like our schedule," sixth-year head coach Tim Flynn said. "I think it's really challenging and it's going to prepare our guys for the ultimate test, which is the NCAA Tournament."

Flynn's squad opens the regular season for the second consecutive year at the Southeast Open on Nov. 4, before playing host to Kent State, Duke and Cleveland State at the Coliseum on Nov. 12 as part of the Mountaineer Quad.
