    Team Simon Roberts defeats Team Lloyd Keaser to win America's Cup

    CONCORD, N.C. -- Team Simon Roberts came through to win the inaugural America's Cup, a six-team freestyle dual meet event held Wednesday and Thursday in Concord, N.C.

    Team Simon Roberts capped off a 4-0 weekend with a 4-2 victory in the finals over Team Lloyd Keaser.

    Daniel DeShazer (57 kilograms), Pat Lugo (65 kilograms), Evan Wick (74 kilograms) and Mark Hall (86 kilograms) helped Team Simon Roberts get out to a 4-0 lead, which sealed the victory.

    DeShazer opened with a 10-0 technical superiority over Guesseppe Rea. After building a 6-0 lead, DeShazer used a trapped-arm gut wrench late in the first period to turn Rea twice and close out the match.

    Lugo received a forfeit at 65 kilograms. (Lugo fell to Yianni Diakomihalis in an exhibition match.)

    At 74 kilograms, Wick won a hard-fought battle (8-6) over Chad Walsh to put Team Simon Roberts up 3-0.

    Hall put the dual meet out of reach by edging Chris Foca 4-3 at 86 kilograms.

    Team Lloyd Keaser would get wins in the final two matches from Wolfpack WC members Michael Macchiavello and Nick Gwiazdowski. Macchiavello defeated Ben Honis 7-1, while Gwiazdowski won by fall over Garrett Ryan after going up 8-0.

    Team Carl Adams claimed third place with a criteria victory over Team Bobby Douglas.
