"The CCC is a deep conference with a strong tradition in Men's Wrestling," shared Hadden. "We've got some great tournaments lined up to showcase our student-athletes' God-given talent, while also hosting some of the best wrestling programs in the CCC and NAIA this year."
After returning to the mats following a condensed COVID season in 2020-21, Corban Wrestling posted a 4-3 duals record last year that was highlighted by a huge victory at Eastern Oregon University. David Rubio, a redshirt sophomore this season, became the second Warrior ever to receive All-American Honors following an incredible run at NAIA Nationals, where he placed 5th overall.
The Warriors will kick off their season in Redding, California to compete at the Simpson Duals, before opening at home in a conference matchup against Warner Pacific University on November 3rd.
After two-consecutive road events—the Mountaineer Tournament (November 6th) and the Mike Clock Tournament (November 13th)—the Warriors will return home for a highly-anticipated home dual with defending Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC) Champion Eastern Oregon University on November 17th, which begins a stretch of three-consecutive home duals for Corban.
The Navy and Gold round out the homestand with a doubleheader dual against Southwestern Oregon Community College (SWOCC) and CCC foe Southern Oregon University on November 19th. Corban will then travel for the Spokane Tournament on November 20th, then have their final home dual of 2022 against Pacific University on December 8th. Rounding out the calendar year, the Warriors will travel to Clackamas Community College and conclude with the annual Reno Tournament of Champions, one of the biggest wrestling showcases in the nation.
January of 2023 will be a test of road meets that culminate with duals against CCC heavyweights Embry Riddle Aeronautical University and Eastern Oregon University in La Grande on January 27th, followed by the Clackamas Tournament on January 29th. The lone home dual of 2023 will be on February 2nd when Linfield University comes to C.E. Jeffers Sports Center.
The regular season will conclude with the CCC Championships on February 17th and 18th, with the Warriors hoping to once again earn berths to the NAIA National Championships, which are slated to take place on March 3rd and 4th.
