Coming off a dissappointing MAC loss on the road at Eastern Michigan last weekend, the UB Wrestling team looked to rebound at home for their first home dual of the season against the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs.
Kyle Akins started the night off with a dominant 9-0 major decision victory over Cortez Starkes of Gardner-Webb that saw Akins rack up over 4 minutes of riding time en route to giving UB an early 4-0 lead. Then, Bryan Lantry took undefeated senior Tyler Ziegler into overtime and won on a beautiful takedown after a scramble on the mat to put UB up 7-0.
