CLINTON, S.C. – Presbyterian College men's wrestling head coach Mark Cody has ushered in the 2025-26 competition schedule for his seventh season as the program's one and only director. The upcoming campaign will feature 13 duals and four regular season tournaments.

The Blue Hose will begin a new path on Sunday, November 2 at the Southeast Open, hosted by Virginia Tech.

PC turns over a new leaf this winter, in possession of their biggest-ever roster that includes 16 new student-athletes and 33 wrestlers in total.

A member of the Southern Conference since the team's inception in 2019, Presby won five matches at last spring's league championships. They'll wrestle seven opponents at Templeton Gym this season, including three SoCon opponents.






 
NOVEMBER + DECEMBER

 
- Coach Cody's club will be in a bracket system for the season-opener in 10 days, headed to Virginia for the Southeast Open. PC wrestled in one regular-season tourney last season, also held in November.

- The Blue Hose men's and women's wrestling teams will collaborate on the 15^th for the annual Throwdown on the Yorktown, a series of neutral duals in Charleston on the deck of a naval ship.

- Aboard the USS Yorktown, Presbyterian will go head-to-head with Campbell in the first of eight SoCon matches for the year. The action begins at three o'clock.

- PC will travel to Sin City on December 5 and 6 for the Cliff Keen Invitational, another tournament from fabulous Las Vegas.

- The Blue Hose will make their first appearance at Templeton on the 15^th, a first-time meeting with Cal Baptist on a Monday night.

JANUARY
