Limestone got its three pin fall victories 125, 174 and 184-pound clashes. Senior Colby Yates (Gainesville, Ga.) had the quickest pin fall on the evening as he pinned AU's Keenan Simmons in 2:15 in the 125-pound contest. Yates fired off three takedowns and a two-point near fall before pinning Simmons.
Senior Tanner Saraceno (Wallkill, N.Y.) and freshman David Kieta (Pigeon Forge, Tenn.) earned back-to-back pins at the 174 and 184-pound bouts, consecutively. Saraceno earned his in 2:48 over Ian Harper and Kieta got his in 4:09 over Taylor Dorsett. Saraceno actually scratched out two three-point near falls and a takedown before pinning Harper.
Perhaps even more impressive than three pins was freshman Nicholas Leitten's (Fort Mill, S.C.) 16-1 technical fall over the Trojans' Dakota Stewart. He scored an impressive four three-point near falls and two takedowns in only 3:39. 10 of his 16 points came in the first period alone.
The Saints began the match with an early 12-0 lead as sophomore Justin Tribble (Stafford, Va.) and freshman Jeremiah Parker (Easley, S.C.) took the 197 and 285-pound matches, respectively, by forfeit.
Limestone didn't rest on their laurels with the early lead as they took both the 125 and 133-pound bouts, which included Yates' first-period pin fall. Freshman Kyle Lowe (Belton, S.C.) then scored a 4-2 decision over Cory Monteforte in the 125-pound bout in his Timken Center debut. A two-point reversal in the third period broke a 2-2 deadlock to give the lanky freshman the win.
The Blue and Gold will return to the mats this weekend with four matches at the 2013 Newberry Duals on Saturday, December 7. Limestone still start off with Alderson-Broaddus (9 a.m.) and Lake Erie (12 p.m.) before ending their day with Darton (1:30) and host Newberry (3 p.m.).
