WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.---The University of Tennesee at Chattanooga wrestling team dropped three of its four matches at the Boilermaker Challenge hosted by Purdue. The top wrestlers for the Mocs were Seth Garvin at 165 and Jason McCroskey at 174 as each went 4-0 on the day.

It was a tough day for the Mocs who started it without All-America Cody Cleveland at 141. Demetrius Johnson, projected as the starter at 125 competed in just one match due illness and heavyweight Matt Lettner dislocated his shoulder against Kent State so the Mocs were forced to forfeit the position in the final three matchups.

In the first match, the Mocs fell to Kent State 32-10. Joey Knox (157), Seth Garvin (165) and Jason McCroskey (174) had the Mocs wins. McCroskey scored a major decision with a 15-6 win over Jacob Donley.

Chattanooga claimed a 28-12 win in its second match of the day over Northern Illinois. The Mocs swept 149-197 to take control of the match. Joey Knox's technical fall over Bryan Deutsch at 4:35 in the 157 match, along with Jason McCroskey's major decision (10-0) at 174 over Derrick Yant and Matthew McKee's technical fall at 4:41 at 184 paced the Mocs.

In round three, Eastern Michigan won by a 25-16 margin over Chattanooga. Steve Hromada (133), Joseph Knox (157), Seth Garvin (165), Jason McCroskey (174) and Ethan Winel (197) each tallied wins for the Mocs.

No. 11 Northwestern pulled off a 30-12 win over the Mocs in UTC's fourth match of the day. Seth Garvin (165), Jason McCroskey (174) and Ethan Winel (197) each claimed wins for the Mocs.
