  • Porter, who is 9-1 this season, has six victories by bonus points this season.
  • Ryan Catka made his season debut and picked up a win by fall to close the night for the Hoos

FROM HEAD COACH STEVE GARLAND
“I’m really proud of these guys. I don’t think they could have responded any better than the way they did tonight. We had a terrible night less than a week ago in Ann Arbor, and all week we talked about responding – and they responded. We got three pins, another tech fall and we hit all our process goals from before the match – to score first, get time and not get ridden. They hit all those goals. Again, I couldn’t be more proud of the way they competed today and hopefully we can build on the momentum moving forward.”

UP NEXT FOR THE HOOS
Virginia returns to the road for a pair of duals on Sunday, Dec. 7 at East Stroudsburg. The Cavaliers will wrestle Bridgeport at 12:30 p.m. and East Stroudsburg at 2 p.m.
