SOS Lunchtime Sync: VT Wrestling Update with Austin Gabel
In case you missed the magic in Cassell from Friday...the Virginia Tech wrestling squad came up BIG in a victory over rival #3 ranked NC State.
Much of that is due to the last second efforts of Sam Latona. From Hokiesports: Latona's takedown with seconds left tied the meet at 16, but it was the near fall at the very end that put the Hokies ahead on the third criteria, 49-48 in total match points.
"This is probably the coolest moment of my life."
