    Coker takes down Anderson

    ANDERSON, S.C. -- The Cobra wrestling team picked up its ninth dual match victory of the season on Thursday (Jan. 30) night with a 28-17 win over Anderson University.

    Coker fell behind early, dropping matches at the 125 and 133-pound divisions. Thanks to back-to-back pins by Walker Barfield at the 141-pound division and Kevin Thompson at the 149-pound division the Cobras took a 12-7 lead.

    Trojan victories at the 157 and the 165-pound divisions put Anderson up 14-12. Zach Dicus regained the Coker lead, 16-14, with a major decision at the 174-pound division. An Anderson win at the 184-pound division gave the Trojans a one-point advantage, 17-16. However, the lead was short lived as Robert Parland secured the Cobra victory with a pin at the 197-pound division. A forfeit win by Austin Akins at the 285-pound division gave Coker the 28-17 victory.

    The Cobras will return to action on Feb. 8 when they travel to Newberry College for the Newberry Open.
