ASU, which placed fourth in the Southern Conference Tournament last season, came out of the gates hungry. Freshman Brody Essick (125 pounds), one of three rookies to break into the starting lineup, started the evening with a 15-4 major decision over Wagner's Nick Keshecki. The Mountaineers followed that with six straight pins in the 133 to 174 weight classes: Terreyl Williams, Clinton Swango, Scott Ervin, Eddie and Tommy Hutchinson, and Neal Martin all pinned their opponents within the first two periods.
Freshman Brandon Brothers dropped an 8-4 decision to Rob Rivera in the 197 pound weight class for Wagner's only points, but senior Dave Hazell capped the evening with a pin of Angelo D'Amico to finish the 46-3 win.
Appalachian (1-0, 0-0) has over a week off until its next meet. The Mountaineers will travel to Philadelphia for the Keystone Classic on Nov. 19.
