INDIANAPOLIS – A day after the Greyhounds went 2-1 at the
Greyhound Duals, the UIndy wrestling team hosted 29 schools from both the NCAA Division I, II, III and NAIA ranks. Bryce Bodd was the lone Greyhound to place at 157, with 20 other Greyhounds competing across the nine weight classes.

INS & OUTS
For Doss, who wrestled unattached for UIndy in the 157 weight class, he began his day against the eventual runner-up in the 157 weight class, Ryan Bennett from Illinois. Following an opening round loss, he reeled off five straight wins to earn his way into a spot in the 7th place match. He tallied three straight first period pin victories, including over Quincy's Jacob Sigman and Saul Razo, as well as King's Elijah Brown. He then captured his fourth win of the day via second period tech fall Wabash's Chasen Kazmierczak, before two straight no contests that resulted in his eighth place finish.Â
The freshman
Gavin Davis, who also wrestled unattached, produced some other notable results for the Hounds today including a win over the No. 9-seed Pat Downing from Ohio State via a 4-2 decision. He was down 1-0 heading into the third period, but used an escape and a take down to get to the four points he needed to pull off the upset win. Similarly in his first match he was the underdog, and pulled off another upset, this time over Bellarmine's Luke Leclerc. His second period pin came after he already held a 7-1 lead.Â
Tucker Campbell, who similarly to Doss wrestled unattached in the 157 weight class, earned two wins on the day. His first win came against McKendree's Luke Kemper via a fist period fall, and his second came in dominant decision win over Manchester's Ian Amstutz, using a six point first period to vault his way to a win.Â
Walter Hagedorn also earned two wins on the day in the 125 weight class, wrestling unattached, with a 17-1 tech fall victory in his opening match of the day, as well as a major decision over Wabash's Brayden Edwards.Â
