The last shutout for the scarlet and gray came last season with a 37-0 victory over the 13th ranked Gannon University on January 12. Spartanburg was unable to field wrestlers in four weight classes resulting in four forfeit victories for Newberry. Even with the forfeits, the scarlet and gray racked up 25 points in six matches.

Competing at 149 pounds, Latra Collick (Berlin, Md.) scored a 5-1 decision over Carlos Morales by scoring a reversal in the second period and then a takedown in the final period to secure the match. The 157 pound match was the quickest of the night as Sean Byrnes (Jackson, N.J.) pinned Spartanburg’s Tyler McElhaney at the 2:56 mark, which gave the scarlet and gray a 26-0 advantage. Brandon Kelly (Fort Myers, Fla.) had one of two major decisions for Newberry as he defeated SMC’s Drew McElrath 20-7. Kelly recorded nine takedowns in the match as he overwhelmed McElrath throughout three periods. At 174, 184 and 197 pounds, Newberry won due to forfeit since Spartanburg was unable to field wrestlers at that weight class. The final match of the night was also the most lopsided as Cy Wainwright (Green Cove Spring, Fla.) recorded a 20-4 technical fall over SMC’s Sutherland Buford. Wainwright scored his second technical fall of the season as he tallied five takedowns and three near falls before the match was stopped midway through the second period. The next dual for the scarlet and gray will come during the Thanksgiving Holidays as they face off against Division I power North Carolina State University and Division II East Region opponent Seton Hill University starting at 11 a.m. on November 29.
