PRINCETON, N.J. – A pair of pins in the last two matches gave the Chattanooga Mocs a 27-10 road victory over Princeton on Friday. Senior Niko Brown and sophomore Kevin Malone posted falls at 197 and 285, respectively, to close out a tightly contested match with the Ivy League Tigers (0-7).

UTC (4-2, 0-0 SoCon) was only up 12-10 when senior Robert Prigmore found himself in overtime against Scott Gibbons at 184.

Brown put the contest out of reach with a first-period pin against Charles Fox at 2:44. It was his ninth win in a row and sixth fall of the year, improving to 15-1 overall and 5-0 in dual matches. Malone also had a first period pin. He put Cole Lampman on his back at the 1:35 mark to improve to 6-4 overall. It was his second pin of the season.
