“I know our guys are excited to get in some singlets in a different environment. I am excited to get this guys to Roanoke also," said head coach Kevin Dresser. "The Roanoke community has been a long-time supporter of Virginia Tech Wrestling. Hopefully we can put on a good show, sign some autographs, and get everybody excited about our season opener next Saturday at the Cassell!”
