    Campbell downs SIUE

    BUIES CREEK, N.C. -- Redshirt senior Eloheim Palma secured the Fighting Camel win Wednesday night, using an 8-6 decision in the heavyweight bout to give Campbell the 20-18 win over SIUE, its fifth Southern Conference win of the year. Palma and classmate Brent Jorge each notched crucial wins to lead CU to victory in their final regular season home match as Camels.

    The Walker twins put Campbell in front 9-0 to begin the match against the Cougars. At 125, Tyler remained perfect in the SoCon at 5-0, taking the 11-5 decision over Dakota leach before Patrick Myers had to medically forfeit at 133 pounds, giving Drew a six-point win.

    John Petrov notched the first Cougar win of the night, earning a 3-1 decision over Michael Dahlstrom at 141 points.

    Jorge came away with his third technical fall of the season, handing Karsten Van Velsor an 18-3 loss at 149 pounds, moving CU ahead 14-3.

    Grant Blumenthal followed with a slim 5-4 decision over Logun Taylor at 157 pounds, giving the Camels their largest lead of the night, 17-3.

    SIUE stormed back to win four bouts in a row, including two sudden victory wins, a decision and a pin, to take the 18-17 lead going into the final match.

    Palma used an 8-6 decision at the heavyweight spot to take the Camels' final three team points and clinching the 20-18 victory.

    The Camels will round out the regular season Saturday in Chapel Hill. CU will take on Pittsburgh at 2 p.m. in Carmichael Arena before meeting The Citadel at 3:30 p.m., making up Thursday's canceled match.
