LITTLE ROCK - This Sunday, Nov. 24, it will have been one year, eight months, and seven days since the addition of the Little Rock wrestling program was announced. It all leads up to this: the Trojans taking the mat at the Jack Stephens Center for their first-ever dual.
The 2:00 p.m. match will be streamed for free through Little Rock All-Access, while live results will be posted on the team's Twitter account (@LittleRockWRES). For those attending the inaugural dual, stick around post-match for team autographs with the Trojans on the concourse.

"The amount of work that has gone into our inaugural match cannot be put into words. I'm so grateful for all who have contributed," said head coach Neil Erisman. "The guys have been hard at work since the day they stepped on campus. I know they're super excited to put Little Rock on their chest and compete for the first time ever in the Jack Stephens Center."
The dual will feature opponents University of the Ozarks, who are currently 4-1 on the season already for duals in their sixth season of competition. The Eagles are led by LeRoy Gardner III, in his fourth season with the Ozarks program, who owns a 24-22 record while at the helm.
"We know Ozarks is going to be tough," added Erisman. "They compete hard and will definitely have a chip on their shoulder about wrestling us. We expect their best and we are ready to fight."
