Eagles Stand Above the Rest at Southeastern Duals
By Mike DeVader, Reinhardt Director of Athletic Communications & Media
LAKELAND, Fla. – The second-ranked wrestling team put together one of its strongest performances in history on the mat together on Saturday by beating three-consecutive ranked squads at the Southeastern (Fla.) Duals.
The Eagles – who remained No. 2 in the NAIA Wrestling Coaches' Top 20 Poll with 146 total voting points – went 3-0 on the day with triumphs over No. 17 Indiana Tech (36-10), No. 8 Cumberlands (Ky.) (19-18) and the host Fire (37-4) to wrap up the perfect event.
"We wrestled pretty well today, as we had some guys really step up and fight through some injuries and win some big matches," lead Eagle Jeff Bedard said. "I'm proud of the guys and our staff. We still have a long way to go, but Koby Milner, Curtis Doctor, Cole Tenety and Antonio Stewart all went 3-0. We have some holes in certain weight classes that guys need to really step up and start competing at a higher level. We will take a few days off for Thanksgiving and hopefully heal up.
Curtis Doctor had a huge weekend, and beat some ranked guys, so he is definitely our wrestler of the week."
