BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Campbell (2-14-1, 1-5 CAA) jumped out to an
early 12-0 lead, but George Mason (9-7, 5-3 CAA) stormed back and
won the last seven matches of the evening to give the Patriots a
30-12 victory Saturday night at Carter Gym.
Campbell was staked to a 12-0 lead courtesy of a George Mason
forfeit at 125 lbs and victories from David Wise at 133 lbs. and
Trevour Smith at 141 lbs.
Wise ran his CAA record to a perfect 5-0 by some late match
heroics. With the score tied 3-3 and less than 15 seconds
remaining, Wise earned his last point via an escape to give him the
one-point decision.
The next late match victory took place in the 149 lbs. match
between Campbell's Chris Mazzatta and GMU's Chris Cartella. With
the score tied and time winding down in the third period. Cartella
escaped from Mazzatta's control giving Cartella the deciding point
in his 6-5 win.
The last match of the evening also provided some excitement at the
end, as Mason's Ryan Kittrick used a takedown with seven seconds
remaining and the match tied to give him a 3-1 decision over CU's
Jeremiah Fennell.
The dual was the second of the day for the Patriots, who fell to
UNC Greensboro 21-16 in Greensboro earlier this afternoon. With the
loss, the Camels have now lost six straight duals.
Campbell takes to the mat in Carter Gym Tuesday against Apprentice.
The dual is scheduled for a 7:00 p.m. start.
