Gardner-Webb @ Chattanooga

Chattanooga Men’s Wrestling edged Gardner-Webb Men’s Wrestling 22-17 at the University of Tennessee - Chattanooga on February 16, 2025. The dual stayed tight throughout, but bonus-point outcomes ultimately decided the meet.

Gardner-Webb picked up two big majors when Tyson Lane downed Ty Tice 11-1 at 125 and Todd Carter rolled to a 20-6 major over Ethan Lipsey at 141. Those bonus victories kept the Runnin’ Bulldogs firmly in the match and created a cushion that made every subsequent bout important.

Chattanooga answered with a run of bonus offense that swung the score back in their favor. Sergio Desiante delivered a 21-6 technical fall at 174, and Kamdyn Munro followed with an 18-3 technical fall at 184. Landon Jones added another technical fall at 197, and Ethan Vergara closed the sequence with a 13-2 major decision at 285. That string of techs and majors provided the extra team points Chattanooga needed to pull ahead.

In the end the Mocs’ string of bonus-point wins proved decisive in a five-point dual. While Gardner-Webb’s two majors kept the meet close, Chattanooga’s collection of technical falls and a late major carried them to the 22-17 victory in Chattanooga.
