BRISTOL, TENN. – UNC Pembroke found themselves with seven wrestlers in contention for titles at their respective weight classes, but the length of the tournament forced the Braves to withdraw early in order to begin the trek back to Pembroke.

Avery Buonocore (141 pounds), ninth-ranked Jake Piccirilli (149), Shylik Scriven (184), Christopher Dickey (197), Quintez Shipman (197), Nigel Williams (197), and Oggie Atwood (285) were all undefeated on the mat at the time of withdrawal.

Cody Williams (133 pounds), Will Lowery (165), David Varner (184), and Massimo Sullivan (285) were each still alive in the consolation bracket, as well.

Buonocore, Piccirilli, Scriven, Dickey, Shipman, Williams, and Atwood combined for nine bonus-point victories on the day.

15 wrestlers registered multiple victories for the Black & Gold. 
 
The Braves will be back in action Saturday, November 23 as they head to Powder Springs, Ga., to compete in the Life University Open.
