Mathews victorious in Knights loss
December 5, 2006 SPARTANBURG, S.C.—Freshman Alex Mathews (LaGrange, Ga.) posted his first collegiate major decision for the St. Andrews Presbyterian College wrestling team, but host Spartanburg Methodist College prevailed 47-4 on Tuesday night. Mathews built his 14-5 major decision in the 197-pound division with a combination of two takedowns, two near falls, and a reversal. Mathews’ victory over Nathan Pena provided the Knights with their only four points on the evening.
Freshmen DJ Chverchko (Loretto, Pa./184-lbs) and Elliott Hogge (Yorktown, Va./149-lbs) also had take downs for St. Andrews. The Pioneers built their point total with five pin falls, a technical fall, and a forfeit victory. The Knights will once again hit the mat after the Christmas break, when they visit Newberry College on January 10 at 7:00 p.m. |
Freshman Eric Frick (Roaring Springs, Pa.) lost a close 1-0 decision to 165-lb Jonathan Jackson. The only other decision came in the lightweight ranks, where Michael Boring edged Knights sophomore Kyle Craver (Lexington, N.C.) 7-1.
