"Our first half of the season has been a great success, "said head coach Troy Nickerson. "Overall, our team is competing at a very high level and they are very exciting to watch. As we move into the next semester, I look forward to our progress and seeing how much better we can get. Our next competition will be the Southern Scuffle in Chattanooga, Tennessee. From there, we will head home to start our dual season on Jan. 9 in Bank of Colorado Arena. We are looking forward to coming home and putting on a show for our fans."

In the first open of the year the Bears headed north to participate in the Cowboy Open. UNC posted 38 wins on the day, with two third place finishes in the elite bracket coming from sophomore Trey Andrews and freshman Joseph Grable. Northern Colorado also captured a first place finish in the amateur bracket from freshman Dylan Gabel winning the 184-lb weight class.
Â
The following weekend UNC hosted the Global Pipeline Consulting Inc. Northern Colorado Open, capturing numerous podium finishes. The Bears saw first place finishes from sophomore Brian Macchione and senior Mitchell Polkowske. Coach Nickerson also witnessed his squad take home two third place finishes, a fourth place finish, and two sixth place finishes.
