FAIRFAX,
VA.-Despite 2-0 days from junior Trevour Smith (133 lbs.) and
sophomore Kelin Bidelspach (141 lbs.), Campbell wrestling fell to
Boston University, 26-12, and Binghamton, 32-9, in day one action
at the Colonial Athletic Association Duals in Fairfax,
Va.
With the pair of
losses, the Fighting Camels fall to 0-9 in dual meets this season,
with a 0-3 mark in conference bouts.
In the first round
of competition, CU paired up with the Terriers of Boston
University. Campbell jumped out to a 12-0 lead in the match,
initiated by sophomore CJ Gittens' forfeit at 125. Smith then
gained a 5-3 decision over Abbie Rush and Bidelspach defeated the
CAA's No. 3 141 pounder, Joey Whitaker, 2-1.
The Terriers then
reeled off seven straight victories, taking the opening round,
26-12.
The Fighting
Camels resumed action in the duals' second round, facing
Binghamton. Starting at 125, Gittens fell to the Bearcats' Tyler
Malmberg to give Binghamton a 6-0 advantage, with Smith and
Bidelspach to follow. The duo again notched another couple of wins
as Smith defeated Anthony Jerome, 7-5, and Bidelspach downed
another ranked Colonial opponent, Anwar Goeres, pinning the
conference's No. 6 wrestler at 1:35 to give Campbell the lead, 9-6.
The Camels would, however, fail to convert another match on the
day, falling to the Bearcats, 32-9
The Fighting
Camels will return to the Feildhouse in Fairfax tomorrow, taking on
Drexel to start the day, followed by Rider in round two and Sacred
Heart to close out the duals.
