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.
