    Four Virginia Tech wrestlers take titles at Hokie Open

    BLACKSBURG -- Four Virginia Tech wrestlers took home titles of the Open Division of the Hokie Open Sunday inside Rector Field House. Joey Dance (125), Sal Mastriani (149), Zach Epperly (174) and Ty Walz (heavyweight) were all victorious at the end of the day as they each won titles in their respective weight classes. Mastriani pulled the upset of the tournament, upsetting his teammate and fourth-ranked Devin Carter in overtime as he got a takedown at the end of regulation and another in sudden victory for the win. Dance locked up a cradle late in the first period to pin 18th-ranked Sean Boyle of Chattanooga and Epperly took down UNC’s John-Michael Staudenmeyer for his seventh tournament win in just two years. Walz used a takedown early on to beat Tiffin’s Garrett Grey 3-2 for his title.

    In the Freshman/Sophomore Division, Jake Spengler went 4-0 at 157 pounds to claim the lone title by a Tech wrestler in that division.

    The Hokies will be back in action next weekend, taking on Gardner-Webb and North Dakota State at home on Sunday in a tri-match. The non-starters will head to Raleigh, North Carolina, for the Wolfpack Open.
