    George Mason earns first conference victory

    FAIRFAX, Va. -- It was a successful Saturday afternoon at the Fieldhouse for the George Mason wrestling program as the team scored a pair of dominating dual meet victories. The Patriots were never seriously tested in defeating Campbell by 26 and VMI by 17 points.

    The Patriots won their first conference dual meet of the season in dominating fashion, defeating Campbell by a final score of 38-12. The Camels only won two matches during the entire meet, one by forfeit. Senior Joe Coughlin (133 pounds), freshman Greg Scott (165 pounds) and freshman Cayle Byers (197 pounds) all earned their victories by fall. Brian Wright earned a major decision at 125 pounds, while Brandon Bucher and Randy Oates won by technical fall at 149 and 174 pounds, respectively.

    The success carried over into Mason's second meet of the afternoon, as the Patriots immediately seized control by winning the first five matches to take a commanding 19-0 lead before VMI won its first match with a fall by Jayme Gordon at 165 pounds. After the loss, Mason rebounded by winning the next three matches before forfeiting at the heavyweight class to take a 29-12 win in the team scoring.

    In the opening meet of the day, VMI downed Campbell by a final score of 21-14. The Keydets scored big at the 165-pound weight class, earning six points when Jayme Gordon pinned Chris Mazzatta at 5:49.

    George Mason returns to the mat next weekend when it hosts the CAA Duals at the Fieldhouse on Jan. 18-19. All nine CAA wrestling programs will be in action at the two-day event.
