UTC drops SoCon match on the road to Campbell.
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wrestling team dropped a 26-11 Southern Conference match at Campbell today. The Mocs fall to 5-9 overall and 3-2 in SoCon action. The 20th-ranked Camels improved to 8-2 and 4-0 in league duals.
Chattanooga opened the match with junior Fabian Gutierrez scoring an overtime win over Korbin Meink (7-5 – SV1) at 125. Meink was the preseason pick to win the league at 125, but Gutierrez improved to 5-0 in league matches, 15-7 overall.
Sophomore Mason Wallace nearly pulled off the upset of the match at 141. He lost a tough 5-4 match to No. 10 Josh Heil. Sophomore Tanner Smith posted a 9-1 major decision over Jason Kraisser at 149, to close the team gap to 9-7, but that was as close as the Mocs would get.
Senior Rodney Jones had the other UTC win. He scored a 9-1 major decision over Chris Kober at 197 to improve to 15-9 overall and 4-1 in league action.
Up next for the Mocs is a trip to The Citadel on Sunday, Feb. 16. The final home match of the season is Friday, Feb. 21, against Indiana. Tickets for the Senior Night match against the Hoosiers are on sale now on GoMocs.com.
