DOVER, Del. – The sixth-ranked Presbyterian College women's wrestling team has accomplished their 10
th dual victory over a top-20 opponent in the past two seasons, smashing the Frostburg State Bobcats at a neutral venue by 28 points on Friday afternoon (34-6).
Just 48 hours after winning three contests in Las Vegas – including a 14-point comeback over fifth-ranked Colorado Mesa and a 17-point W over eighth-ranked Simon Fraser – PC kept the train chugging in Delaware as they never trailed.
The 124-lb. match was perhaps the most anticipated of the bunch, as #5
Alyssa Mahan rolled seventh-ranked Brianna Holcomb with a 12-1 technical fall.
180-pounder
Lexi Fornshell and third-ranked
Chloe Dearwester (110) picked up a pair of pins as Presby controlled an opponent that came into the affair with five straight victories.
Other notables came from
Laura Ruiz Diaz and #4
Carina Giangeruso, who each earned 10-0 sprints for two more technicals.
The Blue Hose have now reached a four-match winning streak of their own and hold an 8-2 overall mark. Impressively, their average margin of victory stands at 30 points.
PC will enjoy a two-week break for the holidays and will return to the mat after the calendar flips to 2026. They'll wrestle four duals on January 3 in Alabama, going up against Schreiner, Randolph, Mount Olive, and Montreat.
