EDINBORO, Pa.- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wrestling team overcame a nine-point deficit to score a 23-15 win at Edinboro tonight.  The victory is the first dual win for the Mocs' new head coach Kyle Rushcell.  UTC trailed 15-9 before taking the last four matches. 

"It is all about the guys," stated Ruschell.  "They are just doing what we preach and fighting every match."

Senior Alonzo Allen  (10-3) got the rally started with a five-point tech fall at 125.  The dual began at 157, so his match was the seventh of the evening. 

Junior Jake Huffine (12-4) continued his hot streak, pinning Richie Gomez at 133.  That gave the Mocs a 17-15 lead that they would not let go.  Junior Chris Debien (8-5) scored a 7-3 win at 141, while freshman Mason Wallace  (11-3) closed out the night with an 8-1 decision at 149. 

"I think we let a few get away early in the match that I thought we could win," added Ruschell.  "I was proud of the way Alonzo, Jake, Chris and Mason all responded."

Freshman Ryan Resnick (4-6) opened the night with a 9-4 decision at 157.  Junior Dominic Lampe (8-6) also scored a win at 184. 

UTC improved to 1-1 overall, while the Scots fell to 1-2.  The Mocs stay on the road for their next match at Ohio on Thursday.  Action begins at 7:00 p.m. (E.S.T.) in Athens, Ohio.
