FAIRFAX, VA - Making a return to dual action, the Gardner-Webb University wrestling team fell on the road at George Mason on Thursday night by a final score of 29-11

The Runnin' Bulldogs got off to a slow start and would be unable to recover as a unit in the loss, but a pair of ranked GWU athletes continued fine individual starts to the season with stand-alone victories. Coming into Thursday ranked No. 27 nationally by WrestleStat, redshirt freshman T.K. Davis extended his good run of form, defeating Charlie Bunting by 7-3 decision in the 133 pound class. Not the only Runnin' Bulldog from Georgia to make an impact, graduate student Todd Carter, ranked No. 23 nationally by FloWrestling in the 141 pound division, scored a 21-6 tech fall win over Dom Hargrove. Both came into Thursday night following standout performances at the Kent State quad meet.
