A dominant 42-3 conference victory against Gardner-Webb and a title-winner at the Appalachian Open tournament capped off January for App State wrestling.
In their Jan. 25 match against the Bulldogs, the Mountaineers won every match but one, including three by pinfall, improving to 3-0 in conference competition this season.
“That’s the most aggressive I’ve seen our team in a number of years,” head coach JohnMark Bentley said. “We matched up against a team that is actually a pretty decent team, and we kind of made it look lopsided.”
The Mountaineers opened action with seven straight victories, eventually reaching a 35-0 lead.
