JohnMark Bentley BOONE, N.C. - After taking eight of 10 possible bouts, Appalachian State University wrestling clinched a share of the Southern Conference dual-meet title as the Mountaineers defeated VMI, 37-9, in Varsity Gymnasium on Friday. With the victory, Appalachian (11-3, 5-0 SoCon) is one win away from its first undefeated league performance since 2002-03; the Apps will take on Davidson in their final match of the season on Feb. 19. League-rival Chattanooga is one match behind at 4-1 in SoCon play and concludes its slate with VMI (5-8, 2-3 SoCon) on Feb. 20. The evening's action began at 165 pounds, and No. 15 Kyle Blevins delivered a big 15-2 major decision to put the Mountaineers on the scoreboard first, 4-0.

Rob Koll Cornell dropped a 19-16 match to Illinois in the finals after knocking off Purdue 29-6 in the preliminary round. I honestly have mixed emotions on the loss. The loss ended our 19 match win streak and removes any chance of Cornell defending last year's National Duals championship. The good news is that we don't have to travel to Stillwater, OK this weekend. Logistically it is very difficult to get from Ithaca, NY to Stillwater. We would lose two training days and we also have a couple guys who need a physical break. This would not be possible if we were to face Oklahoma State, Iowa and Minnesota. Match notes: 125 Frank Perrelli wrestled his worst match of the year against Illinois. Frank had too much time
