The Saints are 1-0 overall while the Knights are off to a 0-1 start in their inaugural season.
Freshman Will Harcum (Williamsburg, Va.) gave the visitors a 12-0 lead after defeating Limestone’s Todd Neptune (New Concord, Ohio) in the 174-pound division. Harcum leads the Knights with six pins after stopping Neptune at 1:47. Limestone cut the visitors lead to 12-6 with a win by Dan Scanlan ( Leesburg, Va.) in the 184-pound weight class over freshman DJ Chverchko (Loretto, Pa.). Mike Walsh ( Port St. Lucie, Fla./197 lbs.) beat freshman Alex Mathews ( LaGrange, Ga.) to tie the contest at 12-12 and the Saints took the lead as Kyle Elliott (Valdese, N.C.) won the heavyweight division over junior Charles Richardson (Virginia Beach, Va.).
