    Old Dominion takes down Chattanooga

    NORFOLK, Va. -- 19th-ranked Old Dominion Wrestling defeated the University of Tennessee Chattanooga Saturday afternoon by a score of 25-12. The Monarchs are now 3-2 in dual action on the season.

    In the first match of the day, No. 11 Tristan Warner (165lbs) won with a pin in just 1:30 over Garrett Alexander, earning six points for the Monarchs. Warner is now 9-0 on the year and has won all four of his dual matches by major decision or pin.

    No. 3 Jack Dechow (184lbs) won his matchup against John Lampe in sudden victory. At the end of the first period, Dechow was down 2-1 and chose to start down. He quickly escaped Lampe’s hold to tie the score at 2-2 going into the third period. Lampe chose down to start the third and escaped Dechow’s grasp. Dechow quickly took down Lampe for two points to only have Lampe escape to bring the score four all at the end of three periods going into sudden victory. In sudden victory, Dechow got hold of Lampe for a takedown to win the match.

    No. 16 Brandon Jeske recorded the second fall of the day, taking down No. 19 Sean Boyle in 5:58. Jeske was awarded one point early in the first period due to a technical violation on Boyle. Boyle took the lead in the second with a reversal (2-1) and took that advantage into the third period. Boyle was hit with an illegal motion call, which tied the score at 2-2 in the final period. Jeske took the lead back with a reversal (4-2) and recorded the pin at 5:58. He is now 3-2 on the season.

    At the 149 lbs. matchup, No. 10 Lenny Richardson won in a major decision scoring 14 points to one against No. 16 Shawn Greevy. Richardson started the match with a takedown and a two-point nearfall, but Greevy escaped to knot the score at 4-1 at the end of the first period. Richardson continued to shine, starting the second period with a three-point nearfall (7-1) and another two-point nearfall to end the second with a 9-1 advantage. In the final seconds of the third period, Richardson recorded a takedown and third two-point nearfall to secure the 14-1 major decision victory.

    No. 9 Chris Mecate had a strong showing, winning by a 4-0 decision over Mike Pongracz. He started the match with a takedown, just seconds into the first period, followed by a two-point nearfall to hold a 4-0 advantage going into the second period. No one scored in the second and third periods, as Mecate held on to the 4-0 decision.

    TC Warner claimed a 2-1 decision over Austin Sams in the final match of the day to secure the 25-12 win for ODU. The first and second periods proved to be scoreless, but Warner racked up 1:54 of riding time in the second period.

    The Monarchs will return to the mat on Dec. 29, as they travel to Evanston, Ill. to participate in the Midlands Championships.
