CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Anthony Elias and Scott Patrick each came away with their first pin of the season while Nick Pappayliou earned a major decision to lead the Davidson wrestling team past Belmont Abbey College by a score of 31-6 in the season-opener at the Wheeler Center Sunday afternoon.
The Wildcats claimed the first five bouts of the match, starting with a 5-0 victory by Philip Elias over Patrick Mestraz at 125-pounds. Anthony Elias then pinned Belmont Abbey's Gabe Pastrick in 1:52 to earn another win for the Wildcats at 133-pounds.
At 141, Alex Palinski earned a 5-3 decision over William Scott for a successful collegiate debut.

Also making his collegiate debut, Pappalyiou took a 14-5 major decision over BAC's Jake Glunt at 157-pounds for his first career win.
The Crusaders took the next two bouts, but the Wildcats would close out the match with wins in the final three. Patrick pinned Marcus Dwaileebe in 2:46 to claim victory at 184-pounds, while freshman Michael Moore battled to a 5-4 win over BAC's Kelly Baker at 197.
