    Campbell defeats Davidson

    DAVIDSON, N.C. -- The Campbell wrestling team won five matches and won by forfeit in two more on its way to a 30-18 victory over Davidson Thursday night inside Belk Arena.

    Campbell won its third-straight dual and improved to 4-16 overall this year, while Davidson fell to 5-10.

    "I'm really happy with the way we performed tonight," said head coach Joe Boardwine. "Almost every match, we pushed the tempo and pace and we won all the close matches. Our team is starting to get a level of confidence, and I think the guys are seeing the fruits of all their effort and preparation."

    Tanner Bidelspach (125 pounds), Peter Comis (174), John Merickel (197), and Parker Burns (285) each won decisions for Campbell against the Wildcats, and at 184 pounds, John Nichols pinned Davidson's Ike Crews in 2:54.

    Burns's win was his fifth-straight dual victory. Bidelspach has now won four of his last five bouts, and Merickel earned his third win out of four.

    Campbell returns to the mat next Thursday when they travel to Durham to take on Duke. The match is slated for a 7 p.m. start.

    "We're looking to keep this momentum going," said Boardwine. "We're going to have a great week of practice and hopefully come out and wrestle well on Thursday."
