Wrestling falls short in season opener

SPARTANBURG, SC- The SMC Pioneer Wrestlers fell short in their season opener to Truett McConnell College Thursday night. Leading the way for the pioneers picking up individual victories were Ian Clevenger at 149, DeAndre Johnson at 157, and Cole Leighton at 197.

The wrestlers will travel to Darton college for the Cavalier open on Saturday for their second tournament of the season. 

"Hopefully we can get our starters back from injuries before our dual against Anderson University next week. The guys wrestled hard tonight, but we just fell a little short in some close match ups. We are a young team and hopefully we can bounce back over the next few weeks
