Appalachian State stays in SoCon title race with win over UTC

BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State Wrestling stayed in the Southern Conference championship race with a 21-14 home victory Sunday against Chattanooga, which suffered its first league loss. The Mountaineers (5-6, 3-1 SoCon) clinched the victory against the Mocs (5-6, 3-1) in Varsity Gym when senior Michael Elliott ended the dual with a Sudden Victory takedown for a 6-4 decision at 165 pounds. App State possessed a four-point lead heading into that matchup, so Chattanooga needed a win with bonus points to either push the team score to a dual-deciding tiebreaker or give the Mocs a come-from-behind victory. The outcome leaves Campbell (4-0, 2-0) as the only SoCon team without a league loss. The Camels won 19-17 against App State and wrestle at Chattanooga next Sunday. Thomas Flitz got the Mountaineers off to a strong start with a 13-4 major decision at 174 pounds before Randall Diabe’s 4-1 decision at 197 pounds, Cary Miller’s 10-2 major decision at 285 pounds and Codi Russell’s 11-3 major decision at 133 pounds pushed the team score to 15-6.
