In their own words...
"Living on campus is a life experience I have learned so much from. We eat together, watch TV together, study together, and do absolutely nothing together. When I go home for breaks, it’s like I’m leaving my second family!"

St. Andrews Wrestling Goes 1-2 at Virginia Duals

January 16, 2012
By: Philip Ratchford, Sports Information

Hampton, VA- St. Andrews wrestling (SAW) recently returned from a weekend trip to Virginia, where they participated in three dual matches at the Virginia Duals. While at the event, the Knights grappled against Brockport, Johns Hopkins, and Liberty University. SAW dropped their first match 31-6 against Brockport. The men evened their event record by defeating Johns Hopkins in their second match with a final score of 30-22. Liberty University was also too much for the Knights to handle in SAW’s third match, falling to the Flames 32-11.

Freshman Kody Getkin (Danville, PA) captured St. Andrews’ only victory against Brockport on Friday. Getkin made sure to leave SAW in the fans' minds as he pinned Tom Rispoli at the 4:20 minute mark in the 157 lb. class. Five Knights, Eric Brown (Norfolk, VA), Sterling Perry (Hampton, VA), Nick Sauceda (Virginia Beach, VA), Greg Pattis (Pinehurst, NC), and Denny Vaughan (Dinwiddie, VA), fought until the end but could not come out on top as they each fell by decision to competitors from Brockport.

St. Andrews improved its technique against the Blue Jays of Johns Hopkins University, bringing home the team’s only victory of the weekend. Brown (125 lbs.) and Getkin (157 lbs.) each got their opponents' shoulders to the mat and won with a pin, ending their duels at 2:48 and 1:49 respectively. Chauncey Foster (Hampton, VA; 133 lbs.), Perry (141 lbs.), and Pattis (197 lbs.) used their strength to overpower the contenders they faced and each won by a major decision.

Liberty University proved to be yet another difficult team to take down. SAW left the mats after taking two individual wins from the Flames. Brown left Jeremy Beale scoreless as he achieved a tech fall of 16-0. Pattis worked for the Knights as well and added another pin for St. Andrews after 1:32 minutes on the mats against John Aguiar.

The Knights will host Spartanburg Methodist College on Tuesday, January 17th at 7:00 PM. Come out and support your Knights as they battle the Pioneers.
