    Gardner-Webb downs Davidson

    Boiling Springs, N.C. -- Gardner-Webb redshirt-senior Jonathan Velazquez was one of seven Runnin’ Bulldogs to pick up a win on Wednesday night, as GWU defeated Davidson 31-9 in Paul Porter Arena.

    GWU and Davidson started the match off in a dead heat, as at 125 GWU’s Brett Kostern and Davidson’s Matt Zarth battled to a 6-6 draw after three periods. However, Kostern had the advantage in the riding time which propelled him to a 7-6 decision over Zarth.

    After tying the score up at 3-3 with a win at 133, Davidson’s Vitaly Radsky used a one point escape with 1:10 to go in the third period to pick up a 5-4 decision over GWU’s Richie Spicel at 141 and put the Wildcats in front for the first time in the match at 6-3.

    At 149, GWU’s Ryan Medved picked up his 18th win on the year in dominating fashion, controlling the match from start to finish en route to a 14-3 major decision win over Scott Ray, pushing the Runnin’ Bulldogs in front at 7-6.

    The Runnin’ Bulldogs then picked up back-to-back forfeit wins at 157 and 165 to take a demanding 19-6 lead heading into the 174 bout.

    After suffering a loss at 174, GWU’s Velazquez stayed unbeaten on the year, defeating Ike Crews 6-2 at 184.
    Gardner-Webb’s Blake Salyer picked up a forfeit win at 197, putting the score at 28-9 in favor of the Runnin’ Bulldogs.

    Redshirt-sophomore Travis Porter moved up to the heavyweight spot where he battled Charlie Wolff of Davidson to a 1-1 tie after three periods. In the overtime period, Porter picked up a two-point takedown to earn a 3-1 decision and give GWU a dominating 31-9 match win.

    Gardner-Webb (6-13-1) will return to action this weekend, as the Runnin’ Bulldog grapplers will travel to Charleston, S.C. to take on the Citadel Bulldogs on Saturday night, February 19th, at 7 p.m.
