Strong Competition Too Much For 'Cats at Sprawl & Brawl

11/22/2009 10:09:59 PM | Wrestling

VESTAL, N.Y. – Sophomore David DeCamp performed well against nationally-ranked competition, but the banged-up Davidson wrestling team dropped the first four dual matches of the season, falling to No. 17 Illinois, Pittsburgh, Rider and Binghamton at the Journeymen Sprawl & Brawl duals, hosted by Binghamton University at the West Gym.

Illinois (2-2) dealt Davidson (0-3) a 47-0 loss, while Pittsburgh (5-1), which is receiving votes for the national Top 25, earned a 49-0 win over the 'Cats. Rider (2-3) won 48-3, and the host Bearcats (1-1) prevailed 50-0 in Davidson's final match of the day.

Altman earned a 9-2 decision in the match against Rider for the 'Cats lone points on the day. DeCamp was dealt his first losses of the season against collegiate competition after starting 8-0 at the Pembroke Open. The Preseason All-Southern Conference selection dropped four close decisions, including a narrow 9-5 loss to the 13th-ranked wrestler in the nation at 149, Donnie Vinson of Binghamton.

The Sprawl & Brawl featured 20 matches between 14 schools.

Davidson will return to action on Wednesday, Dec. 2 when they travel to Durham to face Duke in a 6:30 p.m. match.
