BOONE, N.C. — After taking a break to honor the Appalachian State wrestling alums in attendance, the Mountaineers put on even more of a show to maintain their perfect Southern Conference record.
App State stayed in the championship hunt with a 30-9 home victory against SIU-Edwardsville on Sunday in the annual Old Timers Match at Varsity Gym.
The Mountaineers (5-3, 3-0 SoCon) took a 15-3 lead into the intermission, when the alums were recognized, and they moved ahead 27-3 thanks to back-to-back pins from 197-pound junior Randall Diabe (in overtime) and sophomore heavyweight Cary Miller.
