DAVIDSON, N.C. – Due to the expected inclement weather, today's Davidson wrestling match against Chattanooga will start one hour earlier at than originally scheduled. The first bout is now set to begin at 4 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 18.
Davidson will face a strong test when they host five-time defending Southern Conference champion Chattanooga in their first SoCon dual of the 2009-10 season.
Fans unable to attend in person can follow the action at home on live video and, new this season, live stats.
Scouting the Wildcats: Davidson will be looking to close out 2009 on a strong note. The 'Cats are winless so far in five dual meets, but are coming off a strong showing at the Davidson Open. Junior Alex Radsky earned his first-career tournament title, winning at 133 pounds. The tournament was just his second outing of the season after injury prevented him from competing until the dual at Duke, where he narrowly lost a 7-5 decision. Junior Charlie Wolff (heavyweight) and senior Ben Altman (125) also placed in their respective classes at the Davidson Open. Altman leads the 'Cats with a 12-7 overall record and nine points scored in duals. He has won four of his last five bouts, including a pin against Duke.
Scouting the Mocs: Chattanooga has been dominant in the Southern Conference, winning the last five conference titles. They are returning five SoCon individual champions and had four named to the Preseason All-SoCon team in senior Cody Cleveland (141 pounds), sophomore Demetrius Johnson (125), senior Joey Knox (157) and sophomore Jason McCroskey (184). Cleveland's season was prematurely ended with a knee injury, though. He was ranked ninth in the nation at the time. Freshman Jake Young has emerged as one of the team's top threats, as he is ranked 16th nationally at 174 pounds. He went 13-2 in November to claim Wrestler of the Month honors from the SoCon. Chattanooga will open their conference schedule Thursday night at The Citadel.
Up Next: The 'Cats will return to action in the New Year at the Virginia Duals Jan. 8-9.
