App State wrestling falls to top 10 Virginia Tech

No. 22 App State wrestling fell 23-11 to No. 9 Virginia Tech Friday in a match featuring multiple highly ranked wrestlers.

The score remained close through the first half of the match, but the Hokies pulled away by winning six of their final seven matches. The Mountaineers had three matches go into overtime and lost three matches by two points or less.

While head coach JohnMark Bentley’s program did not get the result they were hoping for, he noted the positive effort from his wrestlers and what they can take away from the match.

“I thought we executed well and had a great effort tonight,” Bentley said.
