App State Wrestling Continues Winning Streak Over Mocs
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — App State Wrestling won seven of 10 matches, earning bonus points in six of them, to post a 28-13 victory at Chattanooga on Sunday.  Chad Bellis opened the dual with a major-decision shutout against a ranked opponent, and the Mountaineers (6-3, 3-1 SoCon) were ahead 15-13 before Tomas Brooker, Carson Floyd and Jacob Sartorio closed the dual with bonus-point wins in App State’s ninth consecutive victory against the Mocs (10-4. 4-2). Brooker won via a 15-0 tech fall in the opening period at 184, Floyd secured a 12-3 major decision at 197 and Sartorio posted an 8-0 major decision at heavyweight.
With Chattanooga’s strength at the top of its lineup, Bellis gave App State a much-needed major decision by a 10-0 score against 30th-ranked Brayden Palmer in the opener at 125 pounds. Palmer is 11-2 this season, with his only losses occurring against Bellis.
Bellis, who built a late 11-2 lead on Palmer at the Southern Scuffle in early January before the reigning SoCon Champ and two-time NCAA qualifier suffered an injury on the final takedown, took a 3-0 lead on a takedown with 58 seconds left in the first period Sunday.
Bellis stayed on top for the rest of that period, added a stalling point while riding out the entire second period and produced another takedown in the third period. … story at … Appstatesports.com/App-state-wrestling-continues-winning-streak-over-mocs
