Drury Wrestling Ranking Matches

The moment that Drury wrestlers, coaches, fans and families have all been waiting for if finally, here. Panthers wrestlers will compete this opening weekend for the first time since February when the Panther squad wrestled at the NCAA DII Super Regional Championships.

This coming Sunday, January 10th, Drury will travel to Arkadelphia Arkansas for two duals against the GLVC opponents University of Indianapolis and Ouachita Baptist. The matches will begin at noon with Drury facing the University of Indianapolis first before a short break and then taking on Ouachita Baptist.

First, before the much-anticipated matches in Arkansas the Panther squad need to establish a lineup.
