BUFFALO, N.Y. ? Appalachian State University wrestling closed a grueling road trip with dual-meet losses to the University at Buffalo and Mercyhurst College on Tuesday afternoon at UB’s Alumni Arena. Appalachian was shut out by Buffalo, 35-0, and dropped a 23-13 decision to Mercyhurst.
Heavyweight David Hazell highlighted the Mountaineers’ efforts on the afternoon with a 9-1 major decision over Mercyhurst’s Nick Marcellino. The victory capped an impressive trip for the junior from Torrance, Calif., as he also earned the heavyweight title at Sunday’s Cleveland State Open.
Terreyl Williams (133 pounds), Nick Lukacs (149) and Neal Martin (174) also claimed wins for the Apps versus the Lakers.
Appalachian will enjoy a nine-day break for Christmas before taking part in the prestigious Southern Scuffle on Thursday, Dec. 29 at Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, N.C.
