Quick Recap: Dominating performance for the Mocs in Davidson Friday night. They blanked their hosts 41-0 clinching the match in the sixth bout. Chattanooga built 11 bonus points with five majors and three tech falls to go with two decisions.
 
First Thought: " We were a Team tonight. We had great energy on the mat and on the bench. I am proud of how hard we wrestled and looked for bonus points when we could. Of course, this is great momentum heading into App State, but they are a different team on a different day. We need to stay focused and wrestle like we did tonight." – Coach Kyle Ruschell
