The Indiana Hoosiers overpowered the Mountaineers on Sunday in the National Wrestling Coaches Association dual championships, handing them their first loss at home this season after winning their previous eight.
Just last season, the Mountaineers (13-3, 7-0 SoCon) took down the Indiana Hoosiers (10-9, 2-7 Big Ten) 21-13 in Bloomington Indiana during the first year of the NWCA dual championships. App State fans packed Varsity Gym to see the rematch and watch the black and gold host a Big Ten school for the first time in school history.
No. 20 ranked senior Vito Pasone started Sunday’s showdown at the 125 weight division against Indiana’s Elijah Oliver.
