    The Citadel defeats North Carolina State

    Charleston, S.C. -- Odie Delaney scored the only fall of the match and four other Citadel wrestlers scored decision victories as the Bulldogs captured their opening home dual meet of the season with 19-18 victory over North Carolina State at McAlister Field House Saturday afternoon.

    Delaney scored a pin over the Wolfpack's Josh Davis at the 1:53 mark of the 285-pound bout to improve to 5-0 on the season. The six-point win turned a 11-9 deficit into a 15-11 advantage for the Bulldogs (1-3) that they would not relinquish. Kelby Smith improved to 4-0 in dual-meet action with a 5-2 decision over KaRonne Jones, while No. 17 Turtogtokh Luvsandorj improved to 10-4 on the season with a 5-2 decision over Quinton Godley in a rematch of their bout at the Nittany Lion Open on Dec. 4.

    After David Ivashchenko dropped a close 7-6 decision in the opening match at 149 pounds, Pierre Frazile evened the score at 3-3 with a 5-3 decision over Colton Palmer at 157 pounds. A major decision victory by NC State's Nijel Jones at 165 gave the Wolfpack a 7-3 lead, but Luvsandorj cut the deficit to 7-6 with his decision. Another major decision for the Wolfpack at 184 pounds opened an 11-6 lead before Smith and Delaney won back-to-back matches, posting nine points and giving the Bulldogs a 15-11 advantage.

    Coltin Fought's 19-6 major decision at 125 pounds for NC State knotted the score at 15-15, but Kyle Casaletto's 4-2 decision at 133 pulled the Cadets ahead 18-15. Darius Little closed out the meet with a 5-1 decision over Jordan Dix at 141, but the Bulldogs emerged victorious on the afternoon with the 19-18 victory.

    The Bulldogs return to action at the Southern Scuffle on January 1-2 in Chattanooga, Tenn.
