    NORFOLK, Va. -- Virginia Tech defeated Old Dominion 23-9 Sunday afternoon in Norfolk to sweep the weekend set of in-state foes.

    With the win, No. 7 Tech improves to 10-1 this season and 6-0 on the road. The Hokies have three duals remaining on their schedule, two of which are away from Blacksburg.

    MATCH HIGHLIGHTS
  • Collin Gerardi earned a 9-5 decision win over Shannon Hanna to even the team score at three. The redshirt freshman had three takedowns and held the riding time advantage to win his 12th match of the season. Gerardi is now outscoring his dual opponents 30-10.
  • After securing a decision win Friday against Virginia, No. 18 Mitch Moore did it again Sunday afternoon. Moore pulled out the 6-5 decision over Sa'Derian Perry in a third period where Perry had two takedowns, but Moore was able to escape three times for the one-point victory. The sophomore is now 8-2 in dual matches this season.
