The (RV) Keiser wrestling team dropped its first dual of the season on Thursday evening, falling 38–9 to No. 2 Southeastern in West Palm Beach. The Seahawks claimed two individual victories in the matchup, which opened at 184 pounds.

Keiser's points came from Sam Libby (184) and Patrick Jones (125). Libby continued his strong start to the season with a second-period fall, while Jones battled through a tight decision to secure his dual win at 125. Shai Keery came up just short at 157, dropping a 4-3 decision.

""We didn't get the result we wanted tonight, but the fight from many of our individuals was there. This is a young team—our average age is 19 years old—and we were beating the No. 2 team in the country after four of the ten matches. I'm proud of the way we competed, but now we see what we need to work on and the areas we can improve. We just need to keep getting our young guys experience and more mat time, and we'll be where we want to be at the end of the year."

The Seahawks return to action on Saturday, November 22, at the Lucha Open in Marietta, Ga. Wrestling begins at 9:00 a.m.
