Wrestling tops Montreat in opener 47-6

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell tallied nine bonus point wins to top visiting Montreat 47-6 in its 2021-22 season opener Wednesday.

The Camels (1-0) won their ninth straight dual, dating back to the 2021 season, posting two pins, three technical falls, two major decisions and two forfeit victories. Six Camels earned victories in their dual lineup debuts.

After a forfeit at 125, Montreat's Braden Wharton overcame a 12-3 first period deficit, earning a pin (4:48) to knot the match at 6-6, but Campbell won the final eight matchups, including tech falls from Gabriel Hixenbaugh, Chris Rivera and Jake Chisolm in the 47-6 team win.

Riley Augustine and Cameron Andrews followed with back to back major decisions for the Camels, and after the second Cavalier forfeit at 184, No. 32 Levi Hopkins at 197 and Luke Davis at heavyweight closed out the dual with first period pins.

Camels also won 7-of-9 extra matches. Full results below.

Next up, CU will head to Corvallis, Ore. to take on a pair of nationally ranked opponents in a tri-meet on Saturday, November 6. The Camels will square off with No. 16 Lehigh at 8:00 p.m. (ET) in a neutral site bout, followed by host No. 21 Oregon State, scheduled for 9:30 p.m. at Gill Coliseum (rankings according to InterMat).
