GETTYSBURG, Pa. – The Washington and Lee wrestling team posted a 2-1 mark in a Centennial Conference quad held at Gettysburg College on Saturday afternoon.
 
The Generals opened the day with a 40-3 win over Gettysburg and then W&L registered a 35-14 victory over McDaniel.  The Blue & White then dropped a 22-18 decision to 21st-ranked Muhlenberg in the final match of the day.
 
W&L coasted to the first two victories, and the Generals held an 18-13 lead heading into the final two weight classes against the Mules.  However, Muhlenberg notched a win by decision at 197 pounds and tallied a pin in the decisive match at heavyweight to improve to 16-2 on the season.  The Generals are now 11-5 overall and 2-1 in the Centennial Conference.
 
Leading the way for W&L were first-year 125-pounder Riley Parker (Virginia Beach, Va. / First Colonial), sophomore 133-pounder Charlie Cunningham (Pequannock, N.J. / Seton Hall Prep) and senior 184-pounder Rexx Hallyburton (Bishop, Ga. / Oconee County), who all finished the day with a 3-0 mark.
 
Washington and Lee returns to the mat on Thursday when it travels to Averett for a 7:00 pm contest.
