Diaz upsets No. 4 Cleveland as Hokies down Chattanooga

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Bolstered by a huge upset from Chris Diaz over the No. 4 wrestler in the country at his weight class, the Virginia Tech wrestling team blanked Chattanooga, 37-0, Sunday afternoon at Maclellan Gym. Tech also routed Anderson to go 2-0 on the day.

After winning the first match easily, the Hokies were right back on the mat against the host Mocs, a team they had beaten just once in nine previous contests. The highlight of match came at 141 pounds where Diaz beat fourth-ranked Cody Cleveland, 8-6. Cleveland was an All-American last year for the Mocs.
