BRISTOL, Tenn. - King College picked up a 36-12 victory Thursday in a home match against West Virginia Tech.
Clayton Buckley (Springfield, Va.) needed four minutes and two seconds to pin David Riggs in the 157 kilogram bout. A pair of Tornado lost hard fought matches, but the deep King squad proved to be enough with five forfeit victories.
The Tornado travels to the Spartanburg Methodist (S.C.) College Open on Saturday.
