RALEIGH, N.C. - In a bout that featured two teams wracked by injuries, three pins, a forfeit and an injury default, NC State won the first four matches and took five of 10 overall Wednesday night for a 27-21 dual-match victory over Old Dominion at Reynolds Coliseum.
The Wolfpack, which improved to 7-3 with the win, was without 157-pounder Scott Garren (11-2) and 165-pounder Dustin Kawa (11-3), while the Monarchs, who dropped to 3-9, were without 133-pounder Chris Buckner (9-6), 149-pounder Dennis Whitby (13-12), and 197-pounder John Dolida (4-7), all out with injuries. The Monarchs forfeited at 197, and the replacements for the other four all lost.
Jeremy Hartrum got the match started quickly for the Wolfpack, getting a takedown and near fall in the first minute of the match, then picked up two more near falls in the first period en route to a 19-1 technical fall over Jared Smith (3-15) and a 5-0 lead in the team scoring. Hartrum scored five near falls and 12 back points in the bout.
Garrett Cummings (8-5), moving up a weight to 133, got two takedowns, an escape and riding time to take a 6-2 decisin over Billy Hayduk (4-11), and Alex Hernandez, after recording seven takedowns and a reversal, pinned Billy Hayduk with seven seconds left in the bout for a 14-0 lead for NC State.
The Wolfpack continued to roll at 149 as Jake Giamoni (12-5) notched 10 takedowns and picked up a major decision over Josh Puryear (0-1), but the Monarchs got on the scoreboard with back-to-back pins at 157 and 165. Jesse Pearce (17-8) pinned Eric Heath (2-6) at 1:41 in the 157 match, and John Adams (20-13) pinned Javon Powell at the 4:32 mark. That cut the NC State lead to 18-12.
At 174, NC State freshman Rick Brownlee (2-6) scored a takedown and a near fall in the early moments of the match and then held on for a 5-2 decision over Matt Ulrey (12-12), which gave the Pack a 21-12 lead in the team scoring and effectively clinched the team victory because after Adam Wright (20-8) of ODU defeated Daniel Humphries (11-10) by injury default, the Monarchs forfeited the 197 match to NC State's Zach Garren (11-9), giving the Wolfpack a 27-18 lead with only the heavyweight match remaining.
At heavyweight, ODU's Derrell Lorthridge (26-8) defeated the Pack's Jainor Palma (7-12) 7-4 to wrap up the match.
NC State will return to action on Saturday at seventh-ranked Lehigh. That match will begin at 3 p.m. The Wolfpack's next home match will be Wednesday, February 11, against North Carolina, beginning at 7:30 p.m.
