Charlotte, NC - The Queens University of Charlotte men's wrestling team (6-9; 3-4 SAC/CC) held off Lander for a 24-21 victory in its final match of the regular season.

Junior Melvin Rubio (125 lb) turned in another strong performance defeating his opponent by fall to hoist Queens ahead 6-0. Freshman Joey Hancock (149) and junior Stephon Halliburton (165) each battled their way to close victories and the return of junior Noah Curreri from injury provided just enough to fend off Lander. Curreri (174) earned six points pinning his opponent and Queens was victorious despite losing their final three matches. 

The Royals gear up for the NCAA Division II Regional Championships on Saturday, February 29th at 9 a.m.
