    Belmont Abbey claims eight bouts in win over Anderson

    The Belmont Abbey wrestling team claimed eight wins in ten dual matches-three by fall, two major decisions and a technical fall-as the Crusaders won their second-straight dual with a convincing 40-8 win over the visiting Anderson University Trojans this evening inside the Wheeler Center. The Crusaders dual meet record improves to 4-8.

    Belmont Abbey began the match leading 6-0 as Anderson forfeited at 285. Patrick Mestrez increased the lead to 9-0 at 125 as he and Cory Monteforte battled to a 2-2 stalemate, but Mestrez earned a riding time point to claim a 3-2 win.

    Mark Almeida recorded the first of three Abbey pins as he put away Keenan Simmons just 2:52 into the 133 pound bout, which upped the Crusader lead to 15-0.

    Anderson halted the Abbey momentum with a Zachary Hale pin of Clemente Narviaz at 4:19 in the 141 bout, but Sean Webb countered that with a pinfall of Sean Turner just 2:08 into the 149 match, which upped the Crusader lead to 21-5.

    The Trojans recorded their final win of the night at 157, as Zane Newton, trailing 9-8, escaped Jake Glunt's hold with three seconds left in the third period to literally escape with a 10-9 win.

    The Crusaders dominated the last four matches, as all were decided by either a pin, major decision or a technical fall.

    Daniel Callahan dominated Ian Harper by a 15-7 score at 165, followed by a Joseph Maumoynier 11-0 shutout of Eric DeAngelis at 174. That major decision win increased the Abbey's lead to 29-8.

    Marcus Dwaileebe finished off Taylor Dorsett by a 19-2 score just 6:34 into the 184 match for a technical fall victory, and Kelly Baker puncutated the 40-8 triumph with a pinfall of Robert Johnson just 6:45 into the 197 match.

    The Crusaders are back in action Tuesday night when they go on the road to face Coker.
