With only one minute remaining in the final match of the evening, App State senior captain Denzel Dejournette took down Gardner Webb’s Boyce Cornwell to earn two points that would seal his match 4-1, and give the No. 16 ranked Mountaineers a two point edge over the Runnin’ Bulldogs.
App State (11-2, 5-0 SoCon) took an early 13-0 lead against Gardner Webb (5-4, 2-2 SoCon) Tuesday night in Varsity Gym, looking as if they were going to dominate the match like head coach John Mark Bentley knew his team was capable of.
“I knew that if we went out and won all of the tough battles that we could dominate them,” Bentley said.
