CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. – Campbellsville University dominated its first-ever home women's only duals Saturday, winning four matches to help secure its No. 3 seed in next month's national duals.

Campbellsville hosted No. 10 Missouri Baptist University, No. 11 Missouri Valley College, No. 16 Life University and the B Team from No. 7 University of the Cumberlands in the five-hour, two-mat showcase in Powell Athletic Center. It was the first time CU hosted only a women's event since adding the sport in 2013-14. CU's women hosted a joint duals event last January with the men's team.

"I received a lot of comments about the tournament, and how well run it was and our facilities. I need to thank CU for allowing us to have this opportunity. We couldn't have done it without a lot of support," CU head coach Lee Miracle said.

CU started the day with a 35-9 win over Missouri Baptist, followed by a 42-6 win over Missouri Valley, a 41-5 win over Cumberlands B and 39-7 result over first-year program Life University.

"I thought the wrestling was really good from our girls. Fundamentally, they're getting better. Technically, a lot of them are doing things they've never done before, and their intensity level was high," Miracle said.

RESULTS

The Lady Tigers won 34 of their 40 individual matches during the day, including 14 by pin, nine by tech fall (wins by a 10-point margin) and eight by default.

Six Lady Tigers were undefeated during the day, led by four pins from heavyweight Tiaira Scott and a 4-0 day on the mat by Michelle Lomas, who wrestling up a weight at 116 pounds. Freshmen Kayla Miracle and Kaitlyn Hill were each 4-0, including one forfeit win apiece. Miracle had three tech falls and Hill had three pins. Kait Fitzpatrick received her first start at 109 pounds and was 4-0 on the day, including a forfeit and an injury default. Kasey Kruczek was 3-0, including one forfeit win.

Rosemary Flores and Michelle Organ were each 3-1, while Shelby Hall was 2-1 and Hannah Hall was 1-1. Cassidy Ferrell returned from injury to start in the CU lineup at 101 pounds.

Organ posted the quickest pin of the day, sticking Missouri Valley's Carla Garcia in 10 seconds.

In addition to the varsity matches, CU wrestled several exhibitions throughout the day, allowing 20 Lady Tigers a chance to wrestle in front of their home crowd.

Keely Holloway (101 pounds), Kasey Ricketts (123 pounds), Makayla Bushman (123 pounds), Kara Cazeau (130 pounds), Steffanie Hampton (136 pounds), Cheyenne Duran (143 pounds), Hannah Gladden (143 pounds) and Autumn Rux (170 pounds) all saw exhibition action.

Kayla Miracle also added an exhibition win, bumping up three weights to beat Missouri Baptist's Cheyenne Youngblood by seven points. Miracle and Youngblood were teammates on the USA Senior Pan-Am team over the summer with Youngblood winning bronze in Mexico City.

Campbellsville (16-4) will send some of its wrestlers to the Minnesota Storm Holiday Cup, Dec. 18-20, but will not return to team competition until Saturday, Jan. 3 when it hosts another home duals tournament.
