HARTSVILLE, S.C. - The 14th-ranked Lander Wrestling team went a perfect ten for ten in matches as they shut out the Coker Cobras, 47-0, on Thursday evening at the DeLoach Center.

Lander improved to a perfect 3-0 in duals and has the same record in conference action. Coker drops to 0-2 overall with the same record in Conference Carolinas.

Six of Lander's ten wins came from bonus point margins, including pins from Sammy Gerard, David Hunsberger, Nathan Buckovich, Hunter Jones, and the reigning Conference Carolinas Wrestler of the Week, Issac Sheeren.

Oren Decker started the match with an 11-10 win, using a third-period takedown to secure the three points. Christian Davis then got a sudden victory at 133 over seventh-ranked     
Stephen Spitko to make it 6-0, Bearcats, after two matches.

After another decision from Isham Peace and a dominant 21-4 technical fall by Reid Noble, Gerard pinned Noah Korenoski who was ranked higher than the Fairfax, Va. native in the last regional poll and that sparked a run of four straight pins for the Bearcats that made it 38-0, Lander, after eight matches.

Marvelous Rutledge picked up a 10-4 decision at 197 before Sheeren closed out the match with a bang with a first-period pin.

The Bearcats will have a well-deserved week away from competition before they compete next in split-squad action on November 23rd with a group traveling to Marietta, Georgia to take part in the Life Open while another group travels to compete in another open at Belmont Abbey.

Lander returns to dual action after the Thanksgiving holiday on Sunday, December 1st as they host the Carolina Clash. The Bearcats are slated to face conference foes Mount Olive and UNC Pembroke and non-conference foes Ashland and Salem.
