No. 24 WVU Wrestling Takes Down Arizona State to Cap Off Celebratory Day
Sunday was indeed a bittersweet day inside the WVU Coliseum for the No. 24 ranked WVU wrestling team.
Along with honoring former three-time national champion Greg Jones, West Virginia recognized its 11 seniors in front of 2,064 fans, the sixth-largest attendance in program history. The large crowd saw the Mountaineers dispatch Arizona State 24-13 in the final dual meet of the regular season.

West Virginia finished with a 10-7 overall record (4-6 in the Big 12) for its third consecutive 10-win campaign, the first time the Mountaineers accomplished the feat since 1985-88.
The Mountaineers claimed seven of the 10 matches on the day, using a five-bout win streak from 157 to 197 pounds to seal the win.
With West Virginia trailing 7-6, Caleb Dowling put the Mountaineers in front with an 8-5 decision over Michael Kilic.
No. 4 ranked Peyton Hall followed by defeating Austin Scott via technical fall 15-0, giving Hall his 126th career victory in his final match inside the WVU Coliseum.

Hall now needs just two wins to tie Jones (128) for the most in program history.
