DAVIDSON, N.C. – The Davidson wrestling team sent their seniors out in style with a pair of 40-point shutouts over Queens and Presbyterian on Friday night. In all, the Wildcats collected a dozen extra-point wins between the two duals.

Davidson's seniors went 7-0 in regulation with three pins, a major, and three decisions. Jake Fernicola pinned his opponent late in the third period during his first match of the night then won 4-1 in his second match. Bryce Sanderlin picked up a 10-2 major decision over Queens and an 8-1 decision against Presbyterian. Cameo Blankenship earned a 4-1 decision over Queens before a stunning first-period pin over Presbyterian. Jaden Hardrick won his match at 174 pounds with a comeback 7-4 victory against the Royals.

Tyler-Xavier McKnight reached the 20-win milestone with a 19-4 tech fall over Queens and a win by forfeit in the second dual. He became just the third Wildcat to do so since 2015 after Sanderlin eclipsed 20 wins last year and Scott Patrick in 2015.

Tanner Peake got a win by forfeit then ripped off a second-period tech fall over Presby to end the day 2-0. Hale Robinson earned a pair of gritty wins in 3-1 and 2-1 decisions at 133. Joshua Viarengo also got a tech fall, 18-3, in his match with Queens along with a 4-0 shutout in his second bout.

Freshmen Wyatt Ferguson and Brady Joling earned a pair of wins. Ferguson secured a pin in two and a half minutes over Queens and had his hand raised after an 11-8 decision over the Blue Hose. Joling wrestled for only a minute and 54 seconds on the night after a first-match pin and a forfeit win in the nightcap.

Marc Koch wrestled at 174 against Presbyterian and earned a 10-0 major decision.
