DAVIDSON, N.C. – The Davidson wrestling team was defeated by Boston University, 34-6, before suffering a 36-0 setback to Southern Conference foe VMI, in a tri-meet Sunday afternoon in Belk Arena.
Davidson (5-8, 0-3 SoCon) did not yield any falls or technical falls in its two matches, but sophomore Kevin Birmingham was the only Wildcat to claim victory, pinning Boston University's (7-4, 1-3 CAA) Nick Tourville in just 12 seconds.
BU started the day with a 34-6 victory over VMI (1-9, 1-2 SoCon) before duplicating the score against the Wildcats. Hunter Meys (197 pounds), Kevin Innis (285 pounds) and Tyler Scotton (141 pounds) all earned major decisions to lead the Terriers early against Davidson, as BU claimed the first seven matches, with the aid of one Davidson forfeit, for a 27-0 lead to clinch the match. Birmingham's quick pin put the 'Cats on the scoreboard, and then BU claimed the final two matches, including another major decision by Nestor Taffur at 157, for the final margin.
Anthony Elias came the closest for Davidson to earning a victory against VMI, but ultimately surrendered a 4-3 decision at 133 pounds to Andriy Onufriyenko. Birmingham was also defeated by a close margin, 4-2, by VMI's Zeb Stewart. Urayoan Garcia (197 pounds), Ryan Goodsell (141 pounds) and Edward Gottwald (157 pounds) led the Keydets in the match with major decisions.
Davidson will host another tri-meet Saturday, Feb. 2, beginning at 11 a.m. against conference foe SIUE. The Wildcats will also face Duke in a 2 p.m. match.
