Bellarmine @ Chattanooga

Chattanooga Men's Wrestling edged Bellarmine Men's Wrestling 17-15 in a SoCon dual at the University of Tennessee - Chattanooga on February 23, 2025. The two teams traded points in a tight matchup, but one bout swung the score enough to decide the result.

The decisive moment came at 157 pounds, where Noah Castillo of Chattanooga dominated Jeb Prechtel of Bellarmine, winning 19-4 by technical fall. Castillo’s tech fall earned five team points, a bonus that proved pivotal in a meet determined by a two-point margin. That extra padding from the 157-pound bout separated the Mocs from a feisty Bellarmine squad and ultimately created the cushion Chattanooga needed.

With the final 17-15 tally, the dual underscored how a single bonus-point victory can flip a close meet. Chattanooga’s ability to convert at 157 was the difference; Bellarmine stayed within striking distance but could not overcome the five-point swing. The result will loom large in the conference standings as both teams head toward the remainder of the SoCon schedule.
