App State Wrestling Shuts Out SoCon Foe

BOONE, N.C. — Kaden Keiser delivered a takedown five seconds into App State’s home dual against Presbyterian on Monday night.  
When Aldo Hernandez broke a scoreless tie with back points in the final period of the night, he provided the bookend to a dominant performance from the Mountaineers. App State improved to 3-0 in SoCon duals by having a hand raised at all 10 weights in a 42-0 victory against the Blue Hose with 597 in attendance at Varsity Gym. It was the Mountaineers’ national-leading 18th dual shutout since the calendar flipped to 2020.
They wrestled without two of their four ranked starters, but Colby McBride (bumping up from 125 pounds to 133 in his dual debut) and Hunter Adams (making just his second career dual start at 197) were both victorious as App State (4-3 overall) had a combined eight freshmen or sophomores in its lineup.
Like McBride, Hernandez also had a narrow victory that wasn’t clinched until time expired, and Logan Eller posted a 10-5 decision against 2024 SoCon Championship tournament semifinalist Caleb Roe at 184.
App State’s six bonus-point wins included a pin in just 29 seconds from 28th-ranked Luke Uliano at 174, and Stephan Monchery was also responsible for six team points via a win by forfeit — PC heavyweight Morvens Saint Jean wasn’t in the lineup for the Blue Hose (1-8, 0-3).
Keiser (20-3 tech fall at 149) and seventh-ranked Will Miller (17-1 tech fall at 165) accounted for five team points apiece, while four-point major decisions came from Jeremiah Price (19-7 at 157) and Bryson Terrell (9-0 at 125). Eller recorded a takedown in the first 12 seconds and added two early near fall points … more at … https://appstatesports.com/news/2025/1/27/app-state-wrestling-shuts-out-socon-foe.aspx
