LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Bellarmine Knights wresting team stays on the road this weekend with a trip to the Lindenwood Open coming up on Saturday.
Bellarmine is the lone squad from Kentucky as the Knights will compete against opponents from 29 different teams at Hyland Arena in St. Charles, Mo.
Last time on the mat, Bellarmine finished with the sixth most match points out of 33 teams at the Bob Del Rosa Ohio Intercollegiate Open. Senior
Alex Rivera won the 174 bracket, while
Thaddeus Huff (285),
Michael Schiffhauer (133), and
Kennedy Wyatt (184) earned second place in their respective weight classes.
"We had some battles today for sure," Knights Head Coach
Ned Shuck said last weekend. "There is no shortage of fight in these guys! I love it! Picking up some of the L's is tough, but I can see the gains they are making. It's my job to help give them the skills to turn that around. They are owning every part of their development. We are going to keep building together!
Huff leads Bellarmine with nine wins this season, including a remarkable seven pins.
Cole Nance ranks second with eight victories.
Jack Parker,
Damion Ryan, and
Michael Schiffhauer have each racked up seven wins.
