When the competition turned to the lower weights, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wrestling team tilted right side up Tuesday night at Edinboro University in Pennsylvania. Trailing by nine points, UTC won the last four individual matches – beginning at 125 pounds – and won 23-15. Alonzo Allen won by technical fall at 125 and Jake Huffine by pin at 133 to put the Mocs (1-1) ahead 17-15, and Chris Debien and Mason Wallace closed out the match with 7-3 and 8-1 decisions at 141 and 149. UTC’s Ryan Resnick began the evening with a 9-4 decision at 157, but only Dominic Lampe with a 9-5 win at 184 interrupted four Edinboro victories, two with bonus points, before Allen’s 16-1 triumph in 4:26. “I think we let a few get away early in the match that I thought we could win. I was proud of the way Alonzo, Jake, Chris and Mason all responded,” Kyle Ruschell said in a UTC release after his first dual win as a head coach. “It is all about the guys. They are just doing what we preach and fighting every match.”
Basketball
* Lee University junior guard Abby Bertram was announced Tuesday as the Gulf South Conference women’s basketball player of the week, primarily for her 32 points and 6-for-6 3-point shooting in a win over Valdosta State. She also had 11 points and three 3s in 23 minutes on the floor against Shorter.
Soccer
* Chattanooga Christian’s Addie Henry was one of the two signees announced Monday by Carson-Newman women’s soccer coach Simon Duffy. Henry, a Signal Mountain resident who also plays basketball and tennis for CCS, had 65 goals and 46 assists in her four years on the pitch for the Lady Chargers and was all-state the last two seasons. They won the region all four years and were state runners-up three times. “Addie will make a great addition to the midfield,” Duffy said in the CNU release. “With her strength and ability on the football, she will fit right in. Addie’s sister played here at Carson-Newman, so she will be very familiar with her new surroundings.”
