THE BASICS
Christian Hite started things off with a bang, putting on a clinic at 157 pounds en route to a 15-0 technical fall over Weston Hirschi and spotting Ferrum with an early 5-0 lead. Southern Virginia closed the gap to 5-4 with a major decision at 165 pounds.

Mateo Villalobos gave up an early takedown at 174 pounds, but rallied with a 12-4 run to close with a 12-6 win over Tyson Hoopes to make it a 8-4 team score in favor of the Panthers. The Knights won by fall at 184 to claim a short-lived 10-8 edge, but Ferrum stormed the castle with five straight wins and put the match out of reach.

Homsey pinned Jaden Markus at 2:09 of the first period at 197, then Dixon matched it with a second-period fall over Igot Lakicevic at 285 to put Ferrum back on top 20-8.

Adrian Samano then posted an 18-2 tech fall over Jaden Nelson at 125 pounds, Semedo decked Jack Nelson in just 25 seconds at 133, and Levi Englman won a 14-2 major decision over Xavier Jukes at 141.

Southern Virginia earned a decision at 149 pounds in the last match of the night. Three exhibition matches were then wrestled, with Trent Proctor bumping up to 141 and earning a 4-1 decision over Sawyer Ferry, and George Mitchell pinning Porter Trapp in 2:00 at 285.
