HARTSVILLE, S.C.- The Coker wrestling team finished up their 2017 home stretch Wednesday (Dec. 13) night against the Knights of St. Andrews University. The Navy and Gold dominated in their 46-3 victory, and now stand at 5-3 on the season.

Chris Navarro started the night off with a high scoring decision in the 125 pound weight class over his opponent, 23-16. Diamonte Perry followed suit with a 7-2 decision. Noah Kile accepted the forfeit in his match against the Knights, with no opponent coming to face him on the mat. Kyle Ocker was the beginning of five straight Coker pins, that included falls from Bret Shurina, Ian Maund, Jordon Garlow, and Luis Peguero.
