CU Drops Final CAA Dual Saturday 34-7 at James Madison


HARRISONBURG, Va. - James Madison (7-24, 2-7 CAA) opened the dual with five straight victories for a 22-0 lead en route to a 34-7 Dukes victory over Campbell (2-17-1, 1-6 CAA) Saturday afternoon. Jeremiah Fennell and Brent Pointer picked up the two Camel victories on the day at 285 lbs. and 165 lbs. respectively.

The 149 lbs. match provided the most excitement on the afternoon, as Chris Mazzatta held a 1-0 lead with a large advantage in riding time over Nick Broccoli late in the third period. Broccoli, however, recorded a huge takedown and three-point near fall to give him a 5-2 decision over Mazzatta.

David Wise's undefeated run through CAA opponents ended, as fell to Brandon Luce 3-0. Luce held a slim 1-0 lead going into the third period, but sealed the victory with a takedown under a minute remaining to provide the final margin. The loss dropped Wise to 5-1 against CAA opponents.

Brent Poynter broke the James Madison run by scoring a 12-4 major decision victory at 165 lbs. over Jeff Jacobs. It was the senior's thirteenth victory on the season, putting him one behind Fennell for the team lead. Fennell racked up his team leading 14th victory three matches later, as he scored a 4-1 decision over Zack Winfrey.

Campbell will close out its regular season with a trip to Boone, N.C. on Tuesday to face Appalachian State. The dual is set to begin at 7:00.
