Wrestling earns opening day split

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell picked up an opening day split Sunday inside Carter Gym. CU downed Eastern Michigan 24-10 to start the day, falling to American 22-10 in its second bout of the day.

After EMU opened the match with Derek Hillman's major decision win at 197, Campbell reeled off six-straight victories, led by Jere Heino's 12-9 decision over Wyatt Harden at heavyweight. Korbin Meink (125) and Nathan Boston (19-7) followed with major decision wins in their Campbell debuts.

Austin Kraisser capped the 21-0 run for Campbell with a 9-1 major decision win at 157. Jonathan Ryan (141), Benjamin Barton (149) and Andrew Morgan (174) also notched victories for the Camels over EMU, helping CU take the 24-10 victory.

Kraisser and Morgan both went 2-0 on the day for the Camels.

American topped Campbell 22-10 in the nightcap. The Eagles claimed the first six matches to jump out to a 19-0 lead before Kraisser's 5-2 decision over Anthony Wokasch at 157 pounds. Quentin Perez followed with a 13-2 major decision over Colin Shannon at 165, bringing CU within 19-7 with two matches to go.

At 174, Morgan also registered his second victory of the day, taking down Connor Allshouse just before the final whistle for an 11-10 win.

Campbell heads to Maryland next week, November 12. The Camels will return to Buies Creek on January 18, hosting SoCon rival Appalachian State.
