No. 15 Wine to Lead VMI Against Davidson Wrestling

DAVIDSON, N.C. – The nation's 15th-ranked heavyweight, Josh Wine, is slated to challenge the Wildcats' Charlie Wolff when VMI and Davidson compete in a Southern Conference dual meet in Belk Arena Friday at 7 p.m.

Fans unable to attend the meet in person can follow online via live video and live stats.

Scouting the Wildcats: Davidson enters with a 5-8 record (0-2 SoCon) after going 3-2 in their last five matches, competing in a quad-meet and a tri-meet on the road. Alex Radsky (133 pounds) has improved his season record to a career-best and team-leading 21-7. His twin brother Vitaly Radsky (141) and sophomore Scott Ray (149) also went undefeated in the 'Cats last outing. Vitaly improved to 15-3 and earned his team-leading fifth pin of the year. He and Ray currently lead the team with four-match winning-streaks. Scott Patrick (174) also won by fall in Davidson's most recent outing. Charlie Wolff will look to upset Wine after dropping a pair of bouts to him last year. His four-match winning streak was halted at the Anderson duals with a loss in one of the matches, but his record currently stands at a career-best 16-6.
