CLINTON, S.C. – In between a marquee Southeast Region clash which served as their most recent appearance and a trip to Las Vegas in a couple of weeks, the Presbyterian College women's wrestling team is now ranked fifth nationally by The Open Mat and seventh by the NWCA.

PC has four competitors in the national top ten according to the NWCA, while boasting eight in The Open Mat top 20.

Last seen in a hard-fought loss to then-#7 King, the Blue Hose currently display a 4-2 dual record and have already obtained 15 top-three finishes in tournament action.

Head coach Brian Vutianitis will send his group to Sin City on December 17 to participate in the "Desert Duals" hosted by Wartburg College. Two days later, they'll be back on the east coast to face Frostburg State at a neutral site in Delaware.
