AB Battlers at Virginia Duals
January 12-13, 2018
HAMPTON, Va. -- The Alderson Broaddus University wrestling team went 1-1 on the first day of the nation's oldest dual meet tournament, the 38th annual Virginia Duals on Friday morning.
"The Ferrum dual was a fight," said head coach Sam Gardner. "Everything had to go right for us to win, and it didn't happen today. Breandan Coughlin had a great match against Ferrum, reversing a loss to the same opponent earlier in the year. Curtis Cox battled back and won in overtime after getting a pretty nasty cut in the second period. Gino Sita defeated a nationally ranked opponent by a decent margin and then some of the other guys battled hard but just didn't have enough to win in that bout. Overall I thought we wrestled hard and tough at most weights."
In the second match of the day, the Battlers defeated Grennsboro College in wrestle backs to finish 1-1 on the day.
"The Greensboro match was pure chaos," Gardner said. "If you tell me we were going to lose the first to matches of the dual and still win the bout I'd have my doubts, but that's exactly what happened. When Curtis lost unexpectedly you could see on the bench we were hurting. That said, the guys didn't stay down very long. Derek Schmidt had a huge pin for us. Nick Sulhoff pushed hard and got a tech fall, Sam Solomon tossed a guy he'd had a tight bout with earlier and pinned him. Combine that with some smart team oriented wrestling by guys like Andrew Forino and Alex Eaton and we were able to pull through. It was an exciting match. I was as drenched in sweat as the guys were when they were done wrestling. Now we have to recover and get ready for tomorrow."
