Last season the Mountaineers placed fifth of 12 teams with Denzel Dejournette winning the heavyweight championship for the second straight year. 

Appalachian looks to continue its hot start of the year after placing well in the opening Southeastern (Hokie) Open and winning its first two duals of the season. The victories included a 50-0 win over Belmont Abbey and a 25-15 win over then-No. 15 Oregon State. The wins jumped the Mountaineers up into No. 23 in the USA Today/NWCA poll and No. 21 in the InterMat rankings.

Recap and results will be made available after the conclusion of the tournament.
