Defeats Campbell in Carter Gym
BUIES CREEK, N. C.Old Dominion University won three of the
first four bouts against Campbell en route to defeating the
Fighting Camels 26-15 in a CAA conference match Friday night at
Carter Gym.
Jeff Rusak recorded his 94th career victory at the
174-pound class for Old Dominion (6-5, 2-1 CAA) by pinning Josh
McConnell at the 2:43 mark. The victory helped blow open a 15-9 ODU
lead to a 21-9 margin. A pin by the Monarch's Matt Small over
Campbell's John Christian at the 184-pound class helped to put the
match out of reach for good, as ODU took a 27-9 lead.
Campbell (4-9, 1-3 CAA) led the match 6-3 after Adam Doherty
pinned Matt Epps at the 1:58 mark in the 133 pound bout, but the
lead would be short-lived as ODU won the next three bouts in a
row.
ODU had one team point deducted after the Monarch's Brad Krepps
was called for unsportsmanlike conduct after losing to Jason
Greenawalt at the 197 weight class.
