PHILADELPHIA --- The 13th-ranked Chattanooga wrestling team earned five weight class titles Sunday and claimed the team championship at the Keystone Classic hosted by the University of Pennsylvania.
Led by the tournament's Most Outstanding Wrestler, Seth Garvin, the Mocs wrestled to titles at 133 pounds, 141, 157, 174 and 197.
Garvin recorded three major decisions in four matches, including a 13-3 victory over Rider's Rob Morrison in the 157-pound finals.
UTC edged host team the University of Pennsylvania, 140.5 team points to 125.5. Southern Conference member Appalachian State finished third with 80.5 points.
UTC's Steve Hromada pulled off perhaps the surprise of the tournament. Hromada entered the event as the seventh seed, rolled through his bracket, then defeated Penn's Rick Rappo in the finals, 7-5 in overtime.
Cody Cleveland scored a 21-10 major over Arizona State's Chris Drouin in the 141 title match, Lloyd Rogers defeated Penn's Jeff Zannetti, 7-4 for the title at 174 and Matt Koz dispatched Arizona State's Jason Trulson, 3-2 to win the 197 weight class.
Also helping the Mocs' team finish were third-place finishes from Javier Maldonado (125) and Matt Lettner (185), fourth-place finishes from Nick Davis (165) and Josh Edmondson (184) and a fifth-place finish by Joey Knox (149).
The Mocs return to action this Saturday hosting Campbellsville, Cumberland College and Newberry at 1 p.m. at Maclellan Gym.
