DAVIDSON, N.C. - Sophomore Jake Fernicola swept the heavyweight freshman/sophomore bracket of the Southeast Open Sunday in wrestling's first meet of the season.
The Piedmont, S.C., took the title by winning by decision 4-0 over his first opponent from VMI, then pinning his second opponent from Tiffin University. Fernicola then pinned his third opponent in the semis before winning by a 3-1 decision over Jacob Sartorio from Appalachian State.
Sophomore 149-pounder Garrett Stewart placed second after defeating his first two opponents by decision, 6-3 and 3-1, then pinning his third opponent. Stewart fell in the ensuing round to a competitor from Campbell, 7-2.
Sophomore Bryce Sanderlin won his first and third bout by a 3-2 decision both times, and pinned his second opponent. The Chesepeake, Va. native finished third in the 157-pound class.
Freshman Noah Frack placed fourth in his collegiate debut in the 149-pound class. He won his first round with a 2-0 decision before a 16-1 technical fall over his opponent from Roanoke. The Topton, Pa. native dropped his final two matches by decision.
A pair of Wildcats finished in sixth place. Senior Kyle Gorant took sixth in the open division and Gavin Damasco took sixth in the 141-pound class.
