ELKINS, W.Va. – The UNC Pembroke wrestling team registered 30 takedowns and five nearfalls on the way to winning nine individual matchups on the night and rolling past Davis & Elkins, 40-6, in the regular season finale for both teams on Friday evening.
 
The Braves used a forfeit win and three bonus-point triumphs to build a 21-0 lead by the midway point. The Senators got on the board with John Finnerty's pin in the 157-pound bout, but the Black & Gold closed out the night with five consecutive victories, including another forfeit win at 197 pounds.
 
It was the eighth win in the last nine dual meets for the Braves (14-9) who matched the 2015-16 squad for the most dual meet victories in a single season. The loss snapped a three-game win streak for the Senators (8-8) who finished with a 1-1 record in the McDonnell Center.
 
The Braves will get a two-week break from competition before suiting up to host the NCAA Super Region I Tournament on February 29 at Lumbee Guaranty Bank Court.
