February 9, 2016

MONTGOMERY, West Virginia — In front of a large crowd on Senior Night, the Golden Bears were able to secure a 25-18 victory over NCAA DII foe Alderson Broaddus University in the Baisi Athletic Center. The Golden Bears celebrated senior Conrad Lacey who holds an impressive 49-11 career record so far as Tech heads to the United States Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (USCAA) National Tournament Sunday.

Tech jumped out to a quick lead, winning the first two bouts of the evening. In those matches, sophomore Tristan Bean earned a 10-9 decision at 125 while the team also earned points from forfeit (133) to get on top 9-0.

At 149, sophomore Jephte Jeanpaul defeated AB's Zach Gwin by decision, 12-7. The Golden Bears fell in the next two match-ups (157 lbs. and 165 lbs.) before junior Colton Rowe (174) cruised to a 12-4 major decision over Davis Solak.

Junior Terry Nance II trapped his opponent, Nathan Cunningham, on his back in less than one minute (0:58) to score a fall for the Gold and Blue at 197 lbs. Fellow classmate Jon Boarman closed the evening out with another Golden Bear victory by posting a 3-2 decision over Nick Nester.
