Gardner‑Webb beats Presbyterian 31-14 behind three bonus wins
Tyson Lane and Dominic Ditullio recorded falls and No. 15 T.K. Davis scored a 17-2 technical fall as Gardner‑Webb built a margin Presbyterian could not overcome.
CLINTON, S.C. — Gardner‑Webb defeated Presbyterian 31-14 at Presbyterian College on Feb. 13, 2026.
The visitors opened a decisive stretch with three bonus results that supplied the bulk of their scoring cushion. Tyson Lane pinned Fernando Dominguez at 125 after recording a takedown and a four‑point nearfall, T.K. Davis — listed as No. 15 at 133 — ran up a 17-2 technical fall over Dallas Canoyer, and Dominic Ditullio pinned Jayden Morris at 141 in the first period.
Davis’s technical fall came on a flurry of first‑period takedowns and near‑falls that produced the 17-2 margin and ended the bout early. Lane’s fall was recorded as a 7-0 result after the opening takedown and a four‑point nearfall, and Ditullio closed his match with a four‑point nearfall before the fall was awarded.
Gardner‑Webb added other bonus and high‑margin results that sustained the lead. Joseph Giordano posted an 18-4 major decision at 157, Isaiah Gurerrero won 12-4 by major decision at 174, and Josh McCutchen earned a 7-2 decision at 285, all contributing extra team points for the visitors.
Presbyterian supplied its own late responses but could not erase the gap. Rey Ortiz recorded an 18-5 major decision over Kaden Helms, Reed Douglass edged Hadyn Danals 8-6 at 197, and Joseph Morris beat Charlie Sly 5-4 at 149 as the hosts collected key decisions and majors in stretches of the dual.
Gardner‑Webb’s athletic department account noted the result extended the program’s string of Southern Conference victories, and Presbyterian’s report said the Blue Hose honored seniors in a pre‑match ceremony. Local play‑by‑play and transcript entries show the visitors’ early bonus conversions created a margin the hosts were unable to close despite several major decisions.
The visitors converted multiple bonus opportunities into extra team points, and those conversions proved decisive in a road victory at Presbyterian College.
