RECORDS: Limestone (10-6, 3-2), St. Andrews (6-10)
The Limestone College wrestling team returned to the mat Wednesday night as they travelled to the Sandhills of North Carolina to take on the Knights of St. Andrews University.
The Blue and Gold wasted no time opening up the floodgate as they were able to pick up wins in each of the first two matches on the day to take an early 10-0 lead over the Knights. Freshman James Sass (Summerville, S.C.) made quick work of his opponent at 125, dominating the match the entire way leading to a pin late in the second period.
St. Andrews fought back to pull to within one point after two straight wins of their own, but that would be as close as the Saints would let them get as they took the next five bouts in succession.
Freshman Clif Decius (Miami, Fla.) provided the most convincing victory on the night with a 25-10 tech fall over his opponent at 184. Picking up multiple near-falls along the way, Decius truly put the match out of reach for the Knights, solidifying the Saints win.
TURNING POINT
Freshman Mac Mota (Sumter, S.C.) got the Saints back into the win column following two straight losses on the mat that sparked the five-bout win streak.
KEY STATS
Limestone increases its overall record against St. Andrews to 9-0, staying perfect against the Knights.
Sass picked up his second win by pin this season, while Decius increase his tech fall total to two as well.
