App State Rolls In SoCon Wrestling Opener

BOONE, N.C. — Fresh off a long-awaited Southern Scuffle medal stand appearance that fulfilled an individual goal, Appalachian State senior wrestler Randall Diabe gave his team an immediate lift in its Southern Conference opener Tuesday.

Diabe began App State’s 39-10 home victory against Gardner-Webb by closing the first period with a pin at 197 pounds, and heavyweight Cary Miller’s first-period pin in the next match preceded a pair of six-point forfeits that gave the Mountaineers (3-5, 1-0) a quick 24-0 advantage. Matt Zovistoski had a pin at 149 pounds, and Alan Clothier (184) ended the dual against the Runnin’ Bulldogs (2-4, 0-1) with a first-period pin.

“I just wanted to go out there and execute and get the team rolling,” said Diabe, who recorded his first pin of his senior season. “You get the heavyweight feeding off your pin, and you get the forfeits. By all that happening, we kept rolling. I was just going out to set the tone.”
