November 16, 2010 | Wrestling
2010-11 HOMEOPENER
Gardner-Webb will host its 2010-11 home opener on Saturday
afternoon, as the Runnin' Bulldogs welcome Chattanooga to Boiling
Springs, N.C. The home opener will not be an easy one though, as
the Mocs are 2-1 this season in dual meet action with the lone loss
coming to No. 14 Kent State.
GWU GOES 2-1 AT THE MOUNTAINEER DUALS
The Runnin' Bulldogs will went 2-1 at the Mountaineer Duals,
picking up wins versus Anderson (S.C.) and Belmont Abbey. GWU
avenged an earlier season loss to the Trojans, picking up wins from
Kostern, Spicel, Ryan Medved, Alex Medved, Guthrie and Porter to
hold on to a 21-20 win. Against Belmont Abbey, GWU picked up a
huge pin fall win at 141 by freshman Luke Dutch and a tech fall
victory by Ryan Medved at 149 to score a 24-20 win over the
Crusaders. In the loss to Appalachian State, GWU's Spicel, Alex
Medved and Justin Guthrie all earned decisions in the 32-9
loss.
SLOW START TO 2010-11 SEASON
Gardner-Webb got off to a slow start to the 2010-11 season last
weekend, as the Runnin' Bulldogs suffered three dual match losses
and only seven wins at the 2010 Hokie Open in Salem, Va. On
Saturday, November 6, Gardner-Webb suffered a 50-0 loss to the
Virginia of the ACC and a 32-6 loss to Rider in which Alex Medved
and Travis Porter were the lone victors in the dual match. In its
match against Anderson (S.C.) GWU had a 19-16 match lead heading
into the heavyweight match, however, the Runnin' Bulldogs had to
forfeit the match and ultimately fell to Anderson (S.C.) 22-19.
LOOKING AHEAD FOR GWU
The Gardner-Webb wrestling team will have a few weeks off to
regroup and recover, as the Runnin' Bulldog grapplers will return
to the mats for competition on Saturday, December 4th, as GWU will
compete at the Davidson Invitational.
