Fulmer wins in Knights loss to #17 Limestone
November 20, 2007 LAURINBURG, N.C.—Freshman Eric Fulmer (Glenshaw, Pa.) provided the home crowd with a convincing technical fall for host St. Andrews Presbyterian College, but the nationally ranked Limestone College wrestling team took the 40-5 victory on Tuesday night in Harris Court. The Saints, ranked No. 17 in the NCAA Division II Wrestling Coaches’ Association preseason poll, improved to 2-0 on the season with nine victories. The Knights open the dual match portion of their schedule 0-1. Limestone increased its lead to 15-0 with three decisions by a trio of Saints juniors over three rookie freshmen for the Knights in the next three battles. Brent Clausing (Miamisburg, Ohio) edged freshman Casey Gashaw (Laurinburg, N.C.) 5-2 at 133-pounds; Joe Federspiel (Greenville, S.C.) squeaked past freshman Alejandro Soto-Perez (Laurinburg, N.C.) at 141-lbs with riding time, 7-6; and Dustin Baynes (Liberty Twp., Ohio) added a 5-3 decision against freshman Greg Todd (Gloucester, Va.) in the 149-pound ranks. Brown, Gashaw, and Todd had had take downs for SAPC while Soto-Perez registered a near fall. Sophomore Mikel Bush (Lakewood, N.Y.) picked up a forfeit victory at 157, giving the visitors a 21-0 lead at the midway intermission. Limestone continued its shutout bid at 165, as freshman Casey Bradley (Muncie, Ind.) took the mat for a 13-1 major decision over freshman Rickey Flood (Martinsville, Va.). Fulmer eventually put the Knights on the scoreboard in the seventh match of the evening. Fulmer rolled to a 17-2 technical fall of freshman Logan Raabe ( Sumter, S.C.) in the 174-pound division. Fulmer had four near falls and two takedowns en route to his second win of the season. Limestone got those five points back in the next battle at 184 as sophomore Dan Scanlan (Leesburg, Va.) tallied a 16-1 technical fall over freshman Will Hess (Lexington, N.C.). Senior Dave Bush (Lakewood, N.Y.) followed at 197 with a 13-2 major decision over senior Charles Richardson (Virginia Beach, Va.). The Saints finished the dual match the same way they started it with another pin fall. Junior Trey Moss (Red Bank, S.C.) pinned freshman Andre Ellerbe (Laurinburg, N.C.) at the 1:59 mark to give the visitors the 35-point victory. St. Andrews next hosts Newport News Apprentice on Tuesday, December 4 at 7:00 p.m. while Limestone will travel to Tennessee for the Cumberland University quad match on Sunday, December 2 at 11:00 a.m. 125 ~ Ian Barker (LC) PIN Eric Brown (SA), 2:45 (6-0 LC) |
Junior Ian Barker (Summerville, S.C.) put the Saints on top for the whole match with a first-period pin fall at lightweight ranks for six points. Barker pinned Knights freshman Eric Brown (Norfolk, Va.) just 2:45 into the contest.
