Chattanooga at a Glance
The Mocs (4-8, 1-0 SoCon) are coming off a 22-16 defeat at #24 West Virginia last Friday (Jan. 13). On January 6, Chattanooga picked up their first conference win of the season with a 30-9 victory over VMI. Chattanooga has three ranked wrestlers according to InterMat and WrestleStat: Brayden Palmer (133), Rocky Jordan (174), and Matthew Waddell (184).
Palmer (14-3, 1-0 SoCon) earned a four-point near fall against West Virginia and is on fire coming into Saturday's SoCon dual. He has won nine of his last ten matches, and he is ranked 13th in WrestleStat's RPI rankings and 14th in InterMat's Division I rankings.
At 174 pounds, Rocky Jordan (8-1, 1-0 SoCon) earned a 9-0 major decision against West Virginia where he compiled over seven minutes of riding time. He is ranked 14th according to InterMat and sits at 16th in WrestleStat's RPI rankings.
In the 184-pound weight class, Chattanooga's Matthew Waddell (7-4, 1-0 SoCon) earned a pin over WVU's Anthony Carmen in a ranked matchup. Waddell is ranked 24th in WrestStat's RPI list and ranks 29th according to InterMat.
Davidson at a Glance
Davidson (2-5, 1-1 SoCon) is coming off a 27-12 defeat against Bellarmine this past Sunday. The 'Cats were without some of its most consistent contributors as Bryce Sanderlin (12-3, 1-0 SoCon), Jake Fernicola (7-3, 1-0 SoCon), and Jackson Sichelstiel (8-12, 1-0 SoCon) were not active in Sunday's conference match.
Sanderlin looks set to return to the lineup and continue where he left off. Prior to missing the last match, the junior from Chesapeake, Virginia was coming off a seven-win week where he picked up two dual wins at F&M and Brown. He then made it to the seventh-place match at the Lehman Open where he secured five more victories.
Also heating up for Davidson is 157-pounder, Marc Koch. Koch (14-14, 1-0 SoCon) is coming off a 6-0 win over Bellarmine, and he has won four of his last five matches dating back to the Lehman Open when he made it to the quarterfinals.
