Army West Point Picks Up Two Dual Wins over Illinois and Chattanooga On the Road
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – The Army West Point wrestling team picked up two impressive dual wins Sunday, taking down Illinois 19-15 and following with a 18-12 victory over host Tennessee Chattanooga.  “Super proud of our guys,” said head coach Kevin Ward. “To go on the road and face some adversity like we did and get two wins over two very quality teams is something to enjoy. Being able to do it with two of our nationally ranked starters out of the lineup shows the depth of our team. It’s nice to get the wins, but I know we have a lot more we can do. We left a lot of points out there. We can perform much better than we did today. But no question, great team effort today and great wins.” Rest of the story at https://goarmywestpoint.com/news/2019/11/10/wrestling-picks-up-two-dual-wins-on-the-road.aspx?mc_cid=2c9f643a62&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
