Bulldog Grapplers Open SoCon Slate on Saturday

CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel wrestling team opens its 2014-15 Southern Conference schedule this weekend when it hosts Campbell on Saturday at 2 p.m. in McAlister Field House.
 
The Bulldogs are looking to win back-to-back duals against the Fighting Camels, who they defeated 21-16 in February.
 
The Citadel returns to action after an appearance at the Cliff Keen Invitational on the weekend of Dec. 5. Among standout performers for the Dogs at the event was Matt Frisch, who earned five victories as he brought home sixth place in the 149-pound bracket.
 
Joining Frisch with multiple wins at the Las Vegas event were Joaquin Marquez (125) and Marshall Haas (197), who emerged with two victories each. Collectively they keyed a Citadel unit that posted a 21st place finish.
 
Frisch, who squared off against Hofstra's Cody Ruggirello in the fifth-place bracket, was toppled by fall at the 43 second mark.
 
In the opening round of the bracket Frisch earned a 6-4 victory over Clayton Ream (North Dakota State).
 
He then captured a 9-1 victory over Chris Yankowich (Virginia) to set up a meeting with Tyler Booth (North Idaho College). In that match, Frisch picked up an 11-2 victory and by virtue of the win earned a fourth round showdown with Ruggirello.
 
After dropping a 6-5 decision to Ruggirello, Frisch moved into the wrestlebacks where he came away with a 2-1 win over Gerald McGinty (Air Force) and a 6-2 victory against Abraham Rodriguez (Oregon State).
 
The match can be seen live on the Southern Conference Digital network.
