The Campbell match started with the 174-pound contest as Chad Davis posted a 17-1 technical fall victory over James Amsley to put GWU on top, 5-0, after one match. The Bulldogs would feed from Davis' quick start, as they would win the next eight matches, and hold a 36-0 lead.
Brandon Beach, Brent Blackwell, Brandon Schweitzer and Cortney Roberts scored four-straight wins for the ‘Dogs to take a commanding 17-0 lead with just five bouts remaining.
Josh Pniewski help to seal the GWU victory with a 15-2 major decision win over Caleb Lesnoff at 133 pounds to put the match out of reach for Davidson at 21-0.
Yet the Bulldogs did not stop there, as A.J. Renteria would pick up an 8-7 victory over Elliott Berger at 141 pounds, only to be followed by back-to-back pin falls by Daniel Elliott at 149 pounds and then Adam Glaser at 157 pounds.
The lone scoring for the Fighting Camels came in the last bout, as Brent Poynter pinned GWU's Jordan Lowe, preventing the Bulldogs from the shutout.
The Bulldogs carried over its enthusiasm and wasted little time in taking control of Carson-Newman as both Davis and Beach would pick up victories for the ‘Dogs, while Blackwell pinned Jonathan Trevor in 4:20 to push the spread to 12-0 after just three matches.
Cortney Roberts won by a forfeit at 125 pounds, while Daniel Elliot earned a tech fall victory at 149 pounds, winning 18-2. Pniewski and Renteria took decisions at 133 and 141 pounds.
Gardner-Webb improves to 9-9 in dual matches on the season and will be back in action on Feb. 5, as they will compete in the East Regional Duals.
