CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. - The #12 Lady Tigers took to the mat in their final regular-season match against conference rival #7 Lindsey Wilson in the Hord Family Wrestling Center Saturday night. Through riveting matches on Alumni Night, the Lady Tigers fought, but the Blue Raiders would come away with a 24-23 victory.

Following a forfeit in the lightweight division, Gabrielle Medeiros faced Rodiat Adeduntan. She started the match with a single-leg takedown, but Medeiros responded with a tackle, gaining the advantage at the end of the first period. In the second period, with the score tied up, Adeduntan earned a pin in the winding seconds to secure the match.

Down 10-0, Icart Galumette hit the mat next for CU, making short work of her opponent #13 Callie Payton with a pinfall to get the Lady Tigers on the scoreboard.

Fa'lia Martinez looked to build on the momentum against #7 Kori Campbell, typical of the 138-lb weight class. Campbell bested Martinez with a technical fall, giving the Blue Raiders back the lead.

Then, #20 Sierra Chavez faced off against #7 Jassy Campos (of the 145 lbs weight class). After a tight first period, Chavez had a one-point advantage, holding the only point scored.
