PRESCOTT, Ariz. -- With its final appearance at home in the rearview mirror, California Baptist University began a road trip that will last the rest of the 2014-15 season Friday with a visit to Embry-Riddle.Â
In a battle of top-20 teams from the NAIA and NCAA Division II, the 18th-ranked Lancers in D-II won out with the dominant performance they hoped for, 31-9, over the No. 12 Eagles of the NAIA. CBU won seven of the 10 matches and put the dual away by winning five-straight bouts from 133 to 165 pounds. The victory moves the Lancers to 4-1 this season, while Embry-Riddle slips to 0-1.Â
David Dill opened the night with a major-decision victory at 285 pounds, but the Eagles pulled within one after a win at 125. CBU lifted off from there and rattled off five-straight wins, thanks to Peter Cunningham (133), Alex Anunciation (141), Matt Hickman (149), Nolan Kistler (157) and Alec Smith (165) remaining undefeated on the year. Â
Cunningham and Anunciation pinned their opponents to give the Lancers a 16-3 lead, while Hickman, Kistler and Smith notched decisions and with Kistler's coming in overtime to increase the advantage to 25-3.
Embry-Riddle halted the run and enjoyed a modest one of its own with victories at 174 and 184. Paul Head ended the dual with a pin to cap the scoring at 31-9.Â
CBU will remain in Arizona for the Embry-Riddle Open Saturday morning, looking to bring some additional individual honors home. Â
