CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Davidson wrestling team heads to the 2018 Southern Conference Wrestling Championship Saturday, March 3 at McAlister Field House on the campus of The Citadel.
Â
ABOUT DAVIDSON
The Wildcats enter the championship 3-10 overall and 1-6 in conference matches. Davidson's 25-15 victory over The Citadel was their first ever against the Bulldogs (1-54-1) and first SoCon dual win in nearly three years. Junior Aidan Conroy boasts the best record on the squad, 11-11, including a 2-3 mark in conference bouts at 149-pounds. Sophomore Conor Fenn (184) is 10-12 overall, while senior Konner Pritchard (197-pounds), junior Tony Palumbo (157) and sophomore Noah Satterfield (174) all have nine wins apiece.Â
Â
THE 2017 CHAMPIONSHIP
Conor Fenn posted the highest Wildcat finish of the day, earning a fourth-place result in the 174-pound class at McAlister Field House last March. After Fenn was pinned in the championship first round, the then-freshman battled through three consolation bouts to get to the consolation final where Sean Mappes of Chattanooga, the competitor who pinned him that morning, was waiting. Mappes earned a first round technical fall, but Fenn had already secured the team best result of the day. Aidan Conroy at 149-pounds and Konner Pritchard at 184-pounds picked up the 'Cats other two consolation victories.
COACHES COMMENTS
