December 07, 2022 | Wrestling
SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Gardner-Webb's RJ Mosley was named Southern Conference Wrestler of the Week on Wednesday following a terrific effort over the weekend in Northern Virginia.
Mosley (Oklahoma City, Okla.) went a perfect 6-0 for the Runnin' Bulldogs, winning both ends of a busy Friday of duals against Bloomsburg and George Mason and sweeping through the Arms Software Patriot Open on Sunday.
Wrestling at 165 pounds, Mosley blitzed Bloomsburg's Josh Bonomo for an 18-3 tech fall win in Friday's opener (4:12) to spark a 26-10 team win. He followed with a 10-5 decision over George Mason's Drew Dickson to end the night.
On Sunday morning, Mosley started with a smooth 8-3 win over Davidson's Jaden Hardrick and followed with a 12-3 major decision to get past Virginia Tech's Ty Finn.
He moved past Dickson once again in the semifinals with a 4-3 decision and beat Lock Haven wrestler Avery Bassett by a 2-1 score to take home the individual championship.
Mosley has gone 8-4 so far this season for the Runnin' Bulldogs (1-1), who return to the mats on December 16 at home vs. Clarion and SIU Edwardsville. The action begins at 11:00 am in Paul Porter Arena.
