WESTMINSTER, Md. – The Washington and Lee wrestling team defeated Gettysburg (29-12) and host McDaniel (32-10) on Saturday to improve to 10-3 overall and 2-0 in the Centennial Conference.
The 10 wins are the most recorded by the Generals since posting a 12-2-1 mark during the 1984-85 campaign. Additionally, sophomore 149-pounder Bryce Crew (St. Mary's, Ga. / Camden County) notched a win by fall in his second match of the day to eclipse his own school record for pins in a season. He now has 14 for the 2018-19 campaign.
Several Generals finished the day with a 2-0 mark led by junior 165-pounder Shane Conners (Mount Airy, Md. / South Carroll), who recorded a technical fall and major decision, and junior 184-pounder Rexx Hallyburton (Bishop, Ga. / Oconee County), who booked a pair of wins by decision.
Senior 125-pounder Ethan Hartman (River Edge, N.J. / River Dell Regional) picked up a forfeit win against Gettysburg and a 13-5 major decision against McDaniel, while first-year 197-pounder Brad Basham (Burlington, Mass. / Buckingham Browne & Nichols) also received a forfeit win over Gettysburg and won by injury default against McDaniel.
Crew fell in his opening match, but broke his record with a pin of McDaniel's Skylar Minutelli in just 21 seconds. The W&L record for quickest pin is 10 seconds, set by Jeff Dixon '85 in 1985.
Washington and Lee returns to action next Friday when it travels to Johns Hopkins for a 7:00 pm match.
