Only sophomore Jack Danilkowicz in the heavyweight division lost an individual bout in the two matches, falling to Cy Wainwright of Newberry. The Cavaliers combined for six falls, five major decisions and one technical fall.
Junior Rocco Caponi, ranked 12th nationally at 184 pounds, recorded a fall in both of his matches. Freshman Michael Chaires scored Virginia's lone technical fall at 165 pounds against Chris Mazzatta of Campbell.
In addition to Caponi, sophomore Ross Gitomer, junior Eric Albright, freshman Nick Nelson, freshman Shawn Harris, junior Drew DiPasquale and sophomore No. 20 Brent Jones also recorded two victories on the day.
