DAVIDSON, N.C. – The Davidson wrestling team returned to action Friday afternoon with a non-conference dual meet against George Mason University at Belk Arena. The 'Cats fell to the Patriots, 30-6.
With the loss Davidson falls to 3-5 in dual meet action this season, while with the win George Mason improves to 2-7 overall.
In a match that began in the 184-pound class, it took until Dustin Runzo at 133 pounds to get Davidson on the board. Runzo managed to come-from-behind in the final frame to knot up the score at five-all and went on to claim a quick sudden victory in the first overtime period with a takedown to claim the class, 7-5. Runzo has now been involved in seven consecutive matches decided by decision - he is 3-4 during that span.
The Wildcats only other victory was also by way of sudden victory. Sophomore Tony Palumbo earned a hard-fought, 3-1, decision at 157-pounds. Palumbo leads the squad with nine victories this season, moving to 9-3 with the win.
Davidson finished the day with a pair of tight decision losses. Noah Satterfield fell to Daniel Mika, 3-2, at 165 pounds, while Conor Fenn let a 2-1 decision slip away late to Patrick Davis.
The Wildcats return to the mats Sunday, Jan.8 when they take on Clarion in Boone, N.C. on the campus of Appalachian State.
