CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Gavin Cagle went 2-1 at the Southern Scuffle presented by Compound Sportswear on Monday (Jan. 1) to stay alive at the two-day event hosted by Chattanooga and advance to the second day of action.

Cagle opened the day against seventh-ranked Daniel Cardenas of Stanford and suffered a loss by pin to the top seed in the weight class before picking up a pair of hard-fought decisions in the wrestlebacks. He first defeated Nick Tattini of Duke 4-2,  before taking an identical 4-2 decision over Blake Saito of Brown.
