DAVIDSON, N.C. --- The wrestling team won its third straight match and third consecutive Southern Conference dual Sunday with a 40-6 victory over Davidson.

The 19^th-ranked Mocs, who have never lost to the Wildcats, recorded two pins, a technical fall and three major decisions to improve to 3-0 in the SoCon and 8-5 overall.

Chattanooga opened the match with back-to-back major decisions for a quick 8-0 lead.  Javier Maldonado, ranked 15th nationally at 125 pounds, defeated Ben Altman 16-5, and Steve Hromada outpointed Alex Radsky 21-8 at 133 pounds.

Davidson, 1-9 and 0-3, claimed its only points on the day at 141 pounds.  Vitaly Radsky pinned T.J. Hannah in the third period to trim the margin to 8-6 after three matches.  Hannah was wrestling in place of Mocs' regular Cody Cleveland.

The Mocs responded to Davidson's pin with consecutive pins of their own.  Joey Knox and Bond Davis added 12 combined team points to Chattanooga's total in the following two matchups.  Knox, ranked 17th at 149 pounds, pinned Carl Sandercock three seconds before the end of the second period, and Davis recorded a second-period fall on Joe McGinley at 157 pounds.  Davis subbed for starter Seth Garvin.

With Chattanooga leading 24-6, 14^th- ranked Lloyd Rogers registered a 21-10 major decision over Trebor Clavette at 174 to extend the cushion to 28-6.  Josh Edmondson's 7-1 win over Sam O'Hair at 184 pushed the lead to 31-6.

After Davidson forfeited at 197 pounds, Matt Lettner scored a 4-2 decision over Charlie Wolff to close out the match.

Chattanooga returns to action Friday at VMI in another SoCon dual and stops off at Virginia Tech for a Saturday afternoon match.
