Gardner-Webb Edges Duke, 20-19, in Midweek Thriller

DURHAM, N.C. – With the dual tied at 13-13, Gardner-Webb won two of the last three matches to steal a 20-19 victory over Duke wrestling on Wednesday night.

Overall, the Blue Devils won five of the nine actual matches after having to forfeit at 125 pounds to go down 6-0 early. Duke rallied back though, winning four of its opening six bouts to knot the score with three matches remaining. Despite redshirt sophomore Ben Frye earning his first victory of the year in just his second career battle, the Blue Devils weren't able to pull out the win.
