SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Gardner-Webb redshirt sophomore Ryan Mosley was named to the All-Southern Conference team Wednesday, which was voted on by the league's head coaches.
Mosley (Stone Mountain, Ga. / Shiloh HS) was selected at 149 pounds. The redshirt sophomore is in the midst of a dominant season, posting a 25-8 record overall and a 7-0 mark in the Southern Conference.
Mosley has gone 15-3 in dual competition and is in the midst of a 13-match win streak in duals. His last dual loss came on November 16 vs. No. 23 North Dakota State. Mosley's last loss overall came at the Southern Scuffle in early January.
He has registered six major decisions, one tech fall and one pin this season to date.
Tyler Marinelli (Jefferson, Ga. / Jefferson HS) earned a spot on the All-Freshman Team and earned a tremendous amount of respect around the circuit while wrestling up a weight class for much of the season.
A highly-touted recruit, Marinelli won eight matches this season, including one via major decision – and three by tech fall.
He was an honorable mention All-America wrestler as a high school senior for Jefferson (Ga.) High at 138 pounds and finished with a career record of 121-5 (56 pins) as a prep wrestler.
Mosley and Marinelli will take the mat for Gardner-Webb on Saturday at the 2015 Southern Conference Wrestling Championships in Asheville, N.C. The tournament will be held at Kimmel Arena on the campus of UNC Asheville.
