Appalachian State Sweeps The Citadel, Greensboro College

BOONE, N.C. — App State Wrestling started a Sunday sweep in Varsity Gym by opening its SoCon schedule with a dominant victory against The Citadel.  
Ranked 23rd by FloWrestling and 24th by The Open Mat, the Mountaineers took nine of 10 matches in a 33-4 victory against the Bulldogs before five underclassmen were part of App State’s lineup for the first time in a 51-3 victory against Division III Greensboro College.
Six wrestlers from App State (4-2) recorded the first dual wins of their careers against Greensboro: Anthony Conetta (fall at 157), Drake Acklin (fall at 165), Gunnar Pool (major decision at 197), James Bankston (fall at heavyweight), Noah Luna (by forfeit at 125) and Kai O’Dell (by forfeit at 149). Ethan Oakley (133) and Tomas Brooker (184) also had pins against Greensboro to cap 2-0 days by the customary starters, while Oren Bost (174) won by tech fall in his second career start.
Facing The Citadel, which arrived in Boone with an 8-2 overall record, App State followed a pair of overtime wins by its ranked wrestlers at 149 and 157 pounds with five decisive victories from Will Miller (8-0 major decision at 165), Luke Uliano (16-0 tech fall at 174), Brooker (12-4 major decision at 184), Carson Floyd (8-1 decision at 197) and Jacob Sartorio (14-5 major decision at heavyweight).
Chad Bellis opened the dual with a 12-2 major decision at 125, giving him his first non-forfeit win in a dual, and Oakley recorded a tiebreaking takedown with 53 seconds left in a 4-1 decision against George Rosas at 133. After The Citadel won by major decision at 141 pounds, Cody Bond used an escape in the first Tiebreaker-1 overtime period to move ahead in a 2-1 decision against Jeff Boyd, and Tommy Askey overcame an early 6-0 deficit to win a 12-9 decision on a Sudden Victory takedown.
Boyd, a West Virginia transfer whose third-place finish at the Navy Classic included two ranked wins and a 1-0 loss to top-ranked Ridge Lovett from Nebraska, successfully escaped four single-leg holds following shots that had Bond on the verge of regulation takedowns. After a scoreless Sudden Victory overtime period with the match tied at 1-all (because of matching escapes in regulation), it went to a pair of 30-second Tiebreaker-1 periods (with each wrestler having a choice of how to begin the 30 seconds).
Bond needed only 9.2 seconds to deliver an escape … rest of story at … APPstatesports.com/Wrestling-sweeps-the-citadel-greensboro-college
