    Leggett's late pin rallies St. Andrews past Anderson

    Laurinburg, N.C. -- Sophomore Denzel Leggett's third period pin helped rally the St. Andrews University wrestling team to a come-from-behind victory over Anderson University 31-19 Wednesday evening.

    After 165 lb. freshman Jemson Villard's major decison victory cut AU's lead to 19-7 with 4 bouts to go, 174 lb. Leggett stepped up and ralleid for his win by fall wtih 23 seconds to go in the third period to cut the Trojans lead to 19-13. He was trailing 8-4 before he took down his opponent and stuck him in a cradle for the dramatic victory that sent the St. Andrews crowd into a frenzy.

    Anderson (0-8) then did not have enough wrestlers to finish the match and forfeited the next three weights to senior Steffan Baker, freshman Carlos Martinez, and junior Denzel Vaughan giving the Knights the 31-19 win. Freshman Tyran Taylor also won 5-4 at 133 lbs. for his first career win.

    St. Andrews (2-1) is next in action on Monday evening when they travel to nearby Coker College in Hartsville, SC for a 7 pm dual.
