LANCASTER, PA. – Gabriel Hixenbaugh finished runner-up, highlighting Campbell wrestlers at the 2023 David H. Lehman Franklin and Marshall Open on Friday.

Hixenbaugh went 4-1 on the day, starting with a fall over Sacred Heart's Jake Ice (6:08). The redshirt junior followed with decisions over Army's Danny Uhorchuck, 6-4, and Ryan Franco, 6-1, as well as a 9-6 win over Penn's Evan Mougalian. His lone defeat came against Navy's Brendan Ferretti, 4-3, in the title round, Hixenbaugh's first loss of the season.

The Alabaster, Ala. native is now 8-1 in tournament action this season after winning the Army Black Knight Invitational in November.
