@GWUWrestling Drops 21-20 Decision To SIU Edwardsville Friday Night
January 26, 2018 | Wrestling
BOILING SPRINGS – SIU Edwardsville jumped out to an early 15-0 lead Friday night and held on to nip Gardner-Webb, 21-20, in a Southern Conference wrestling matchup in Paul Porter Arena.
Gardner-Webb (1-7, 1-3 SoCon) forfeited at 125 and 141 due to illness and injuries, and SIU Edwardsville (4-11, 2-2 SoCon) picked up a decision at 133 poundds from John Muldoon for its early 15-0 edge.
Joby Armenta came through with a high-scoring decision at 149 pounds, winning 11-6 over Tyshawn Williams.
Tyler Marinelli rolled to a 17-0 tech fall at 157 pounds, cutting the match short with 11 seconds on the third period clock to trim the Cougars' edge to 15-8. SIU Edwarsville stunted the rally with a decision at 165, but Christian Maroni won at 174 pounds by forfeit to pull Gardner-Webb within 18-14.
Cole Graves pulled the Runnin' Bulldogs within a single point, holding on for an 8-6 decision at 184 pounds, but Edwardsville won 9-6 at 197 to go up 21-17.
Gardner-Webb's Lathan Bumgarner needed at least a major decision at 285 to pull the 'Dogs even, but Tommy Helton was able to defend well enough to keep the bout low scoring – and Bumgarner took a 4-3 decision for a win and the final team score margin.
The Runnin' Bulldogs will step out of conference next week, wrestling at Duke on Thursday night (February 1) at 7:00 pm.
