Lady Tigers dominate Cumberlands and will wrestle at 3:00 for NWCA Championship vs. Menlo

CU beats Cumberlands for third time this season

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Six pins and two tech falls led No. 2 Lady Tiger wrestling over rival and seventh-ranked University of the Cumberlands on Saturday morning to secure a spot in the NWCA National Dual finals.

With the win, the Lady Tigers will compete for their second National Duals championship in three years. Campbellsville wrestles No. 4 Menlo College at 3p.m. ET on Mat 12 at Freedom Hall.

The double points came early and often for the Lady Tigers against Cumberlands, though. No. 7 McKenzie Bacich pinned Olivia Coyne in 1:29 to set the tone and it was all Campbellsville the rest of the way.

No. 2 McKayla Campbell followed suit at 109 pounds with an 18-6 tech fall and No. 3 Katlyn Pizzo picked up her second pin in as many matches at the duals giving the Lady Tigers a 14-1 lead over Cumberlands.

No. 8 Charlotte Fowler, wrestling in her first national duals match, held on late for a 4-3 decision and then it was No. 1 Abby Nette pinning Ashley Ikner in 1:32 and No. 9 Randi Robison taking down her opponent in 1:44 to the Lady Tigers in control, 27-2.

Cumberlands had one match win as No. 2 Bridgette Duty earned an injury default victory over Gabrielle Garcia in 2:48.

The final three matches were all Campbellsville. Alexia Foca and Alexandra Castillo both earned pins while No. 3 Kenya Sloan picked up a 14-2 tech fall.

Campbellsville won the National Duals in 2018 and also went on to win the WCWA National Championship – both firsts in program history.
