Wrestling Uses Sweep to Finish 7-1 in SoCon

LEXINGTON, Va. — App State wrapped up another strong regular season with a sweep of VMI and The Citadel on Friday.

The Mountaineers posted a 33-12 victory against the host Keydets before winning 41-3 against the Bulldogs.

With a 44-5 league record since the start of the 2014-15 season — the fifth-best mark in Division I wrestling during that time — App State has either gone undefeated or lost just one Southern Conference match in seven straight seasons. The Mountaineers closed the 2020-21 regular season at 7-2 overall and 7-1 in SoCon duals.

App State won the first seven matches against VMI and totaled eight wins with bonus points to go along with Cody Bond's comeback victory via a 10-9 decision at 157 pounds.
