NEWBERRY - The No. 13 Newberry Wolves closed out the 2014-15 regular season with an emphatic 39-3 dual victory over the visiting Anderson Trojans in Eleazer Arena on Tuesday night.
The match also served as Senior Night, as the Wolves honored the careers of Seiji Borja (North Charleston, S.C.), Matt Colter (Jacksonville, N.C.) and Jared Holliday (Burlington, N.J.). The Wolves won 9 of 10 bouts in the dual to finish the year with an 11-3 dual mark.

Newberry cruised to a huge early lead thanks to four straight bonus point wins. Trung Duong (Lynchburg, Va.) won via forfeit at 125 lbs., Jordan Simpson (Oxford, Ala.) picked up a shutout 11-0 major decision at 133 lbs. and Nick Lankford (Braselton, Ga.) earned a pin in 1:14 at 141 lbs.
Following Borja's technical fall at 149 lbs. and an 8-2 win by decision at 157 by Dennis Flores (Hanahan, S.C.), the Wolves led 24-0 at the intermission. At that point, Newberry had conceded only two escapes in the opening four bouts.
Lukas Gilmore (Greenville, Mich.) earned another shutout 17-0 technical fall at 165 lbs. before Anderson finally got on the board with a win at 174 lbs.
Holliday's tiebreaker win at 184 lbs. kicked off a run of three straight victories to close the dual.
