MARIETTA, Ga. — Even with four individuals competing at the Dave Schultz Memorial in Colorado Springs, Lady Tiger wrestling made quick work of Life University on Friday night with a 32-13 victory.
The Lady Tigers improve their dual record to 9-0 on the season and 3-0 in Mid-South Conference competition.
Campbellsville started the match with eight straight team points as
McKenzie Bacich earned a 10-0 tech fall and
McKayla Campbellsville picked up a 16-6 tech fall.
Life University got on the board as
Lindsey Prozanski lost 12-8 to Tyesha Topps and
Maria Ramos was tech'd by Jennifer Juarez, 10-0. But that was all the Running Eagles could muster until the 191lb. match.
CU earned two forfeit wins at 130 and 136 lbs. before
Courtney Gray pinned her opponent with short time to earn five more team points and giving Campbellsville a 24-7 lead.
Morgan Becker and
Mariah Harris sealed the victory with a 6-2 decision and 14-2 tech fall, respectively.
Raquel Valderrama lost to Stephanie Pantoja by criteria, 1-1.
"I am very proud of our second string girls who stepped it up and wrestled varsity this weekend to fill the empty spaces with three varsity wrestling competing at the Dave Schultz," said assistant coach
Nicole Woody. "Many girls made lower weights or bumped up a weight class. I am especially proud of
McKayla Campbell. Her grandmother passed away four days ago. She still came, made weight, and wrestled. She leaves tomorrow to drive to her funeral but her dedication through her loss is inspiring."
The Lady Tigers will now have a pair of JV matches against Life University and University of the Cumberlands on Saturday, Nov. 11 in Williamsburg. CU returns home to host Cumberlands on Wednesday, Nov. 15 at 7:30 p.m. ET
