App State wrestling goes 2-0 in SoCon duals on Senior Day

App State wrestling swept SoCon foes Chattanooga and Presbyterian on Senior Day in Boone over the weekend.

“Overall, it’s always good to get two wins,” head coach JohnMark Bentley said. “Chattanooga’s a good team and they always get up to wrestle us. We have a little bit of a rivalry there.”

The Mountaineers opened the meet against the Chattanooga Mocs, who entered the weekend unbeaten in conference play.

App State’s Codi Russell took on Chattanooga’s Fabian Gutierrez in a contest-opening matchup featuring two nationally ranked 125-pound wrestlers.

Gutierrez held a late 3-2 lead until Russell completed a takedown with less than a minute remaining.
