CLINTON, S.C. – It was another well-rounded effort by the sixth-ranked Presbyterian College women's wrestling team on Sunday afternoon, hosting the second annual Blue Hose Challenge tournament and witnessing seven top-three placements out of 19 competitors in action.

Just a day after dueling #1 Iowa and Delaware State aboard the USS Yorktown naval aircraft carrier in Charleston, PC spread out 47 victories and landed the 1^st-place prize in class 160 (freshman Kaylie Hall) as well as class 207 (sophomore Maria Aiono).

Six Blue Hose wrestlers made it to the championship match in their respective weight division, including two title bouts that were a pair of PC athletes against each other. Paige Wehrmeister, Isabella Gretzinger, Henlee Haynes, and Grace Leota all left the tourney with a 2^nd-place nod.

Throw in a 3^rd-place finish by rookie Jenna Anderson in class 117, and Presbyterian has now achieved 15 bronze-or-better outcomes in only two tournaments this season.

The month of November has been and remains a hectic one for head coach Brian Vutianitis and company, welcoming the King Tornado to Templeton this Friday for a 7:00 dual on ESPN+.


 
NOTABLES

 
- Sunday was the first of seemingly many tournament championships for the freshman Hall, improving on her 3^rd-place finish at the Adrian Invite last week and pinning Gretzinger in the finals of that bracket.

- Aiono, one of six current nationally-ranked wrestlers on PC's roster, outlasted Leota via 6-2 decision in the last title match of the day. It's her third career championship in tournament play already, boosting her overall win total to 34.

- The field of competition was much larger compared to the inaugural Blue Hose Challenge 12 months ago, including the Iowa Hawkeyes who were visiting Presby's campus for the first occasion.

- Altogether, the Scotsmen collected 18 pins in the near-eight-hour event and also won 18 times via technical fall.
