UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.-- While the Nittany Lion wrestling team preps for its Big Ten opening dual road swing this weekend, six Penn Staters took part in the Southern Scuffle in Chattanooga, Tenn.

True freshman Mark Hall (Apple Valley, Minn.), red-shirting and wrestling unattached, dominated a loaded field to win the 174-pound title.

Hall went 5-0 with two pins and a major to claim the crown.

He opened up the tournament with a pin of The Citadel's Martin Duane in the first round.

He then majored Oklahoma State's Jordan Rogers, 12-4, in the second round.

In the quarterfinals, Hall faced top-seed Casey Kent of Penn, who was ranked No. 3 nationally. Hall took care of Kent with a dominating 9-4 win to move into the semifinals.

He pinned Lehigh's Ryan Preisch, ranked No. 15 nationally, at the 6:29 mark and

advanced to the championship round where he took on Oklahoma State's Kyle Crutchmer. Crutchmer entered the tournament ranked No. 6. Hall dominated the Cowboy grappler, opening up an early 6-0 lead before rolling to a 10-3 victory.​

Hall was named the tournament's Outstanding Wrestler for his efforts.

Junior Kade Moss (South Jordan, Utah) picked up a win at 141 while red-shirt freshman Kellan Stout(Pittsburgh, Pa.) grabbed a victory at 197. Senior Caleb Livingston (Drexel Hill, Pa.), red-shirt freshman Dominic Giannangeli (Murrysville, Pa.) and red-shirt freshman Gary Dinmore (Skillman, N.J.) all competed as well.
