The No. 24 Virginia wrestling team fell to No. 14 Penn State 19-15 Sunday morning in a match that came down to the last wrestler at the Sprawl & Brawl held in Binghamton, N.Y.
The surprise of the match was Cavalier freshman Jedd Moore, who beat the No. 2 wrestler in the country in the 157-pound division, Penn State junior Dan Vallimont.
Both teams were able to win five bouts. Two Penn State wrestlers, however, won by fall and major decision at the 133- and 149-pound weight class, respectively, to secure the team’s victory. Virginia sophomore Chris Henrich, junior Brent Jones and senior Rocco Caponi won their bouts.
The Cavaliers easily defeated American International College Sunday afternoon, winning 52-0, posting the third most points in the program’s dual-meet history. The Cavaliers will be back in Albany, N.Y. Saturday to compete in the Northeast Duals where they will face No. 7 Oklahoma State, Bucknell and Harvard.
