    Virginia Tech downs UNI at Moss Arts Center

    BLACKSBURG -- The 12-ranked Virginia Tech wrestling team earned an important victory over Northern Iowa at the Moss Arts Center on Friday, downing the Panthers 19-15.

    The match started at 149 pounds, where UNI quickly jumped up 6-0 on the Hokies after the first two weight classes. Freshman David McFadden put Tech on the board after a dominate 11-5 performance, taking down eighth-ranked Cooper Moore for the first win of the night.

    Zack Zavatsky continued his win streak, picking up the first bonus victory of the night, a 13-2 major decision. With a career record of 0-3 against #15 Blaize Cabell, third-ranked Ty Walz won a crucial match over his foe, a 5-2 decision to cut the Hokies' defecit to 12-10 with three weights left.

    Junior Joey Dance, looking for a bonus victory, recorded takedown after takedown before notching a fall in the third period to put Tech ahead for the first time Friday night. After UNI picked up a win at 133 pounds, the Hokies led 16-15 with just one weight left. Solomon Chishko wrestled smart, picking up an 8-2 decision to close the night with three points for Tech and a 19-15 victory.

    The Hokies will be back in action tomorrow, opening ACC play against #15 North Carolina at the Moss Arts Center. Tickets can be purchased for $10 ahead of time at vthoki.es/moss or at the door for $15.
