"We had some good individual performances," head coach Rob Hjerling said. "But as a team we have a lot to work on in this week-and-a-half break before the Wolfpack Open. It will be very good for us and hopefully we can work on some things to improve on before heading to Las Vegas for the Cliff Keen Invitational."
The Bulldogs jumped out to a 6-0 lead after Caleb Smith (7-2) won by forfeit at 125 pounds. Andrew Clayton (0-4) then lost to Derek Bohle by major decision to make the score 6-4.
Heading into the 141 matchup The Citadel took control after Ty Buckiso (2-0) won by a 15-0 tech fall, giving the Bulldogs five points. The Citadel added to their lead after Matt Frisch (2-0) and Aaron Walker (2-0) both pinned their opponent in 1:55 and 1:18, respectively.
Anderson mounted a comeback in the next three matches beginning at 165 pounds as Zach Appleby (2-3), Timothy Knipl (5-2) and Sawyer Root (6-1) all took loses to make the overall score 23-13.
Marshall Haas (2-0) sealed the win for the Bulldogs though at 197 pounds after earning the pin at the 1:12 mark. Joe Bexley (2-0) followed suit with a pin over Ty Williams 2:45 into the first period to give The Citadel its second win of the season.
