    Newberry tops Limestone

    GAFFNEY, S.C. – Kelly Anundson's pinfall proved to be the winning points as No. 16 Newberry College defeated Limestone College 25-21 on Thursday evening at the Timken Center.

    In a see-saw match throughout the evening, Newberry (15-5-1) fell behind in team points 9-0 as Saints (7-11) wrestler Trey Moss and Matt Hall scored a decision and pinfall respectively.

    Newberry cut Limestone's lead to three as Pete Matsko pinned Nathan Carmack in the first period. The Indians took a 10-9 lead after Dwayne Tolleson recorded two takedowns and three near falls to beat Riley Pike 11-3 in the 141-pound division.

    In the 149-pound weight class, Dustin Baynes squeaked out a close match with Latra Collick with a riding time of 1:84. Mike Bush added another victory for Limestone with a pinfall against Jesse Creed in the 157-pound weight class. Brandon Kelly increased the Indian's team score to 13 with a 7-3 decision over Greg Satterfield.

    No. 7-ranked Quinn Tolbert gave his team a 19-18 advantage as he scored a pinfall over Todd Neptune in the first period of the 174-pound competition. However, Limestone's Dan Scanlan, the No. 7- ranked wrestler in the 184-pound weight class, defeated Keeno Griffin, 3-0, as the Saints retook the lead at 21-19.

    In the deciding match of the night, Anundson scored the match-winner, pinning Mike Walsh in 4:43 in the 197-pound weight class.

    Newberry will travel to Anderson, S.C. next Thursday to grapple Anderson University. First match is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
