CLINTON, S.C. – The 13th-ranked Presbyterian College women's wrestling team made the most of Saturday's site change for a head-to-head with Huntingdon College, listing the first true shutout in program history at Templeton Gym in a 47-0 clobbering.
Winners of four in a row – with the last three decided by an average margin of 38 points – the Blue Hose and head coach
Brian Vutianitis have wowed spectators with lightning-quick pins and technical falls, something that the Hawks fell victim to in every encounter over the weekend.
Across the midway portion of the bout, PC published four straight pins (none of them lasting longer than 70 seconds) while gaining three other TF's in as decisive of a victory as one could've assembled.
Reagan Riddick,
Alyssa Mahan,
Cassia Zammit, and
Madeline Kubicki were the ones responsible for the aforementioned falls in a dual that was completed before the half-hour mark, with the Blue Hose overwhelming HC to improve to 4-2 on the young season.
Dating back to last December, Presby has seized a W in their last four appearances at their home base (and all of them in a convincing manner). The squad has surpassed the 40-point count twice in the past three meetings, obtaining 20 on Saturday by pins alone.
Going 10-for-10 in the program's first-ever matchup against Huntingdon, PC has now gathered 75 individual victories since November as they continue to steamroll any visitors that come to Clinton.
