    Belmont Abbey defeats Limestone

    The Belmont Abbey wrestling team wrapped up its home schedule with a 23-15 win over Limestone this evening at the Wheeler Center. The Abbey improves its dual meet record to 2-10.

    Belmont Abbey claimed six of the ten matches, including a pair of come-from-behind wins in the final seconds of the third period. With the Abbey winning the first match and dropping the next two, Appolon Jean-Paul, wrestling in the 149 pound bout, trailed 3-1 with 13 seconds left when he swung the momentum back to the Crusaders when he scored a near fall with under ten seconds left to secure a 6-3 lead and give the Abbey a 7-6 lead, which it would never relinquish. That win was followed by victories from Corey White and Nick Rees, and then Adam Phillips claimed the second dramatic win of the night. Trailing 3-2 with under five seconds left, Phillips recorded a two-point takedown to claim a 4-3 win.

    Seniors Chris Neidermeier and Tim Stanton, who were honored prior to the match, both won their bouts, as Neidermeier claimed a 14-4 major decision win at 125, and Stanton registered a pin just 1:56 into his bout at 197
