Presbyterian College Men’s Wrestling Trounces St. Andrews in 36-Point Cruiser
CLINTON, S.C. – Returning to dual competition for the first time in seven-and-a-half weeks, the Presbyterian College men’s wrestling team walloped the visiting St. Andrews Knights on Wednesday in the Templeton Center, assembling a 45-9 victory.
It’s the largest winning margin for head coach Mark Cody‘s program in one year and one day (a 44-6 decision over Truett McConnell 12 months ago), winning eight of the 10 matches when not factoring in exhibition play.
The lead kept growing for the blue and garnet in a meeting that was scheduled hastily (confirmed on Monday), collecting three technical falls on a night where St. Andrews surrendered four forfeits.
125-pounder Brayden Adams earned his first W of the campaign via 19-3 tech over Caleb Haynes, followed by a swift 2:41 pin by junior Ryan Luna for his fifth win of the still-young season.
Eli Holiday (249) equaled Adams’ earlier technical with a 19-3 triumph … more at … https://gobluehose.com/news/2025/1/15/mens-wrestling-mens-wrestling-trounces-st-andrews-in-36-point-cruiser.aspx
