    UNC Pembroke steamrolls Spartanburg Methodist

    PEMBROKE -- Dustin Smith got the UNC Pembroke wrestling team started with a tight 1-0 decision in the opening bout of the night at 133 pounds, but the Braves had little trouble the rest of the way out, using four pins and a trio of forfeits to cruise past Spartanburg Methodist, 53-0, on Thursday evening at Lumbee Guaranty Bank Court.

    It was the 14th win in the last 17 dual meets for the Braves (2-0) who will not see their home floor again until a mid-January matchup with U.S. 74 rival St. Andrews. Spartanburg Methodist (1-1) has now dropped all six series matchups with the Black & Gold since the series began in 2006-07.

    Jake Smith (141 pounds), Faris Teia (165), seventh-ranked Blaze Shade (174) and Stuart Nadeau (285) all posted pins in the outing, while Eric Milks had finished off a 21-4 technical fall at 149 pounds by the 10-second mark in the second period. Smith and Dakota Roberts both registered victories via decision, while Josh Brown (125), Casey Malloy (157) and Mikey Thomas (184) all won via forfeit.

    Malloy and Thomas both also won exhibition matchups. Malloy posted a first-period pin (2:24) of Alexander Alecxih, while Thomas turned in a 17-0 technical fall over Nicholas Siniard.

    The Braves will be back in action again on Saturday when a handful of wrestlers head to Orlando, Fla., to compete in the UCF Open. The full squad will return to action on November 21 when it makes the short trip to Raleigh to compete in the Wolfpack Duals.
