    Appalachian State tops Campbell, wins fourth straight

    BUIES CREEK, N.C. -- Appalachian State University wrestling traveled to Campbell University on Wednesday night for its second Southern Conference match of the season. The Mountaineers (7-2, 2-0 SoCon) topped the Camels (0-7, 0-2 SoCon), 28-12.

    The match started at the 125-pound weight class. Vito Pasone got the Mountaineers off to a fast start when he dominated his match, winning by technical fall, 22-5.

    The Camels would answer in the 133-pound match when Nathan Kraisser defeated Jacob Grigg with a technical fall of his own to level the team score at, 5-5. Michael Longo would push the Apps in front in the 141-pound clash with his 11-10 decision win over Lucas Stewart.

    Matt Zovistoski helped stretch the Appalachian lead when he earned bonus points with his 12-4 major decision over Zane Knight. With the score 12-5, Angel Najar fell in a 13-7 decision to Quentin Perez.

    In the 165-pound match, Forrest Przybysz battled hard to fight off Paul Duggan in TB-1, 9-5. Nick Kee recorded the only pin of the day when he stuck Matthew Olauson 4:32 into the 174-pound bout to give Appalachian a 21-8 advantage.

    Campbell would not cave and won the 184-pound match behind Ville Heino's 12-4 major decision over Taylor Jackson. Freshman Randall Diabe showed great resiliency by winning in overtime, SV-1 9-7 over Austin McNeil.

    The Reigning Southern Conference Wrestler of the Week, Denzel Dejournette, closed out the dual with an 11-3 major decision win over Jere Heino to hand Appalachian its second SoCon win of the season and extend its winning-streak to four matches.

    The Mountaineers will return to action at home in Varsity Gym on Sunday against SIUE for their Old Timers Match. Match time is set for 3:00 p.m.
