SAN FRANCISCO — Slight adjustments have been made to the upcoming San Francisco State wrestling schedule.

The Gators were originally slated to host New Mexico Highlands, Simpson, and Otero Junior College on Friday, January 25. However, Otero will no longer being making the trip from Colorado. With the Rattlers no longer in the mix, the Gators' home schedule for that day has been adjusted to noon vs. New Mexico Highlands and 2 p.m. vs. Simpson. New Mexico Highlands and Simpson will face one another at 4 p.m.

Then, on Saturday, January 26, the Gators will host the 42nd Annual California Collegiate Open. Start time has been pushed back an hour to 10 a.m. In 2018, in Head Coach Jason Welch's first season at the helm, the Gators finished third overall. Simon Fraser won last year's tournament, followed by second-place California Baptist, which has since moved to NCAA Division I. Mason Boutain (157 lb.) and Justin Pichedwatana (174 lb.) will have an opportunity to defend their titles from a season ago, though Pichedwatana has moved up a weight class to 184 lb. 125 lb. wrestler Brandon Vu will look to improve upon his second-place finish in 2018.

General admission to SF State wrestling events is $10 and $5 for senior citizens (65+) and children 5-11 (under 5 are free). San Francisco State students, faculty, and staff receive free admission with a valid SF State ID. Additionally, during the government shutdown, San Francisco State Athletics is offering two complimentary tickets to furloughed government employees. Federal government employees who show a current valid federal employee ID will receive two free tickets to that event.

Live stats and video will be provided for both duals, as well as the 42nd Annual California Collegiate Open. Also be sure to follow the program on Twitter at @sfstatewrestle and on Instagram at @sfstatewrestling.
