    Ruschell gets first win as UTC tops Edinboro

    The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wrestling team overcame a nine-point deficit to score a 23-15 win at Edinboro tonight. The victory is the first dual win for the Mocs' new head coach Kyle Rushcell. UTC trailed 15-9 before taking the last four matches.

    "It is all about the guys," stated Ruschell. "They are just doing what we preach and fighting every match."

    Senior Alonzo Allen (10-3) got the rally started with a five-point tech fall at 125. The dual began at 157, so his match was the seventh of the evening.

    Junior Jake Huffine (12-4) continued his hot streak, pinning Richie Gomez at 133. That gave the Mocs a 17-15 lead that they would not let go. Junior Chris Debien (8-5) scored a 7-3 win at 141, while freshman Mason Wallace (11-3) closed out the night with an 8-1 decision at 149.

    "I think we let a few get away early in the match that I thought we could win," added Ruschell. "I was proud of the way Alonzo, Jake, Chris and Mason all responded."

    Freshman Ryan Resnick (4-6) opened the night with a 9-4 decision at 157. Junior Dominic Lampe (8-6) also scored a win at 184.

    UTC improved to 1-1 overall, while the Scots fell to 1-2. The Mocs stay on the road for their next match at Ohio on Thursday. Action begins at 7:00 p.m. (E.S.T.) in Athens, Ohio. Links for stats and video will be posted on the wrestling schedule page on GoMocs.com
