RESULTS
 
CHATTANOOGA---The Chattanooga Mocs and Gardner-Webb Runnin' Bulldogs went down to the wire in a pivotal Southern Conference match Friday night in Maclellan Gym. Sophomore heavyweight Logan Andrew dominated that final bout to secure the 19-16 victory for the Mocs.
 
"Logan really stepped up for the team in a big way," Coach Kyle Ruschell shared. "He's battling through some things and everyone on this team is grateful for that performance.
 
"Noah and Rocky both went out there with a purpose, to go out and dominate. That's what you saw in those two matches. Noah and Rocky were here to wrestle and dominate somebody. Logan Andrew too. I mean, he shot four or five times and got three takedowns on the heavyweight.
 
"We need 10 guys that want to go out there and compete in front of a crowd."
 
The Mocs return to Maclellan Gym Sunday hosting Campbell at 2 p.m.

QUOTABLE
"You know, I am more of a 'tech faller'. I don't have a ton of good pinning combinations and stuff like that, but every now and then, if you get that cross-wrist tilt, that bar tilt tight enough, you can get a pen. So, I was happy i could do it for the team tonight." – Jordan on getting his first fall as a Moc
 
"Definitely built some nerves. That's for the team. I had to do it for the team. Glad we got the win and now we just have to move forward from here." – Andrew on clinching victory
