CHARLESTON, S.C. – VMI Wrestling suffered a loss to The Citadel Sunday afternoon at McAlister Field House.

Highlighting the day was 149-pounder Patrick Jordon, who picked up his first ranked victory of the season, defeating No. 31 Carson DesRosier by a 7-5 decision.
 
141-pounder Dyson Dunham led the Keydets in scoring with a 19-4 technical fall, while 197-pounder Toby Schoffstall returned to the lineup and nabbed a 4-2 decision.
