DAVIDSON, N.C. – Davidson wrestling had a strong home debut, downing Greensboro College Wednesday night at John M. Belk Arena, 32-16. The Wildcats took 7-of-10 bouts en route to a victory over the Pride.
The 'Cats registered two pinfall victories, won three bouts via major decision, and also collected a technical fall victory to help secure the match.
In the hole early with a forfeit at 125-poinds, Davidson junior Dustin Runzo battled for seven minutes to claim a hard-fought 5-2 decision to get his team going.
Sophomore Aiden Conroy took victory on a 14-2 spread (4:34), but it was sophomore Tony Palumbo who delivered, registering Davidson's first pin of the contest, taking down the Pride's Sam Bell in 2:41.
"In all my years here my guys have never wrestled from start-to-finish as well as they did tonight," said head Coach Bob Patneski. "We have to build off of the success of tonight."
Freshman Conor Fenn recorded the first pin of his collegiate career, bringing Greensboro to the mat with 2:54 on the clock. Classmate Konner Pritchard followed that up in the 184-class, winning via technical fall, 16-1. Junior Will Cooley ended the night with a 9-1 major decision.
The Wildcats return to the mats Friday, Nov. 18 when they host Washington and Lee at Belk Arena. First bout is slated for 7 p.m.
