2023 NCAA Division II The Season: UNC Pembroke

 

Man, talk about a tough team. The Braves did graduate some super tough wrestlers, but they also bring back some super tough wrestlers.  Gone is five time NCAA Division II qualifier Nicolas Daggett who earned All American three times during his career. 8th in 18', he was an runner-up in 21' & 6th this past season.  Also gone is two time qualifier Bryce Walker.

Logan Seliga 

A two time NCAA Division II qualifier in 20' & 21', Luke Seliga will look for qualification #3 in 23'.

Jake Piccirilli 

Georgia native Jake Piccirilli was 3rd in the Super Region II last season qualifying for his first NCAA Division II appearance on a 19-11 record.

Cliff Owens 

Cliff Owens took a 6th place finish at the Super Region II this past season. The New Jersey native who went 14-16 on the year will look to improve upon his record and region finish.

South Carolina native Rahsaan Vereen had himself a pretty good sophomore showing last season with a 20-13 record & a runner-up finish at the Super Region II. 

174 lbs
Shylik Scriven    OR         Caleb Grau

Two talented grapplers here in Shylik Scriven who was 5th at the Super Region II last season & Caleb Grau who had a 13-4 record. Should be a good wrestle-off.
