DAVIDSON, N.C. – The Fighting Camels built an early lead against Davidson and would not relinquish it, defeating the Wildcats 31-9 at the John M. Belk Arena Sunday evening. 
Campbell improved to 7-3 and 1-0 in conference play, while the Wildcats now sit 1-9 (0-1).
The match started at heavyweight, where #10 Taye Ghadiali set the tone for the Camels with a tech fall (5:20) over Jake Fernicola. It was Ghadiali’s team leading eighth tech fall of the season.
Campbell quickly followed the result with two more tech falls. #26 Anthony Molton was the quickest on the day, defeating Enis Lijikovic in 1:44. #22 Domenic Zaccone was right on Molton’s heels, dispatching of John Hager in 2:14.
