FRANKLIN SPRINGS, Ga. – Another remarkable regular season is firmly in the books for the sixth-ranked Presbyterian College women's wrestling team, meaning the focus has now shifted to the NCWWC Southeast Regional bracket this Saturday afternoon.

Multiple Blue Hose wrestlers will have their shot at advancing to Nationals this weekend, with the action starting at 10:00 AM from Emmanuel University. The Southeast Region is one of eight groups around the country who will be qualifying for Nationals.

Head coach Brian Vutianitis has guided the Blue Hose through a campaign where they remained inside the NWCA top ten since the beginning, going 14-4 in dual matches and claiming 25 individual titles in a tournament setting.

Six different PC grapplers have already surpassed 20 personal victories, with eight of Vutianitis' wrestlers being ranked inside the top ten of their respective weight class. This bodes well for Presby, who aims to finish in the countrywide top ten at Nationals for the third straight time.

LAST TIME AT REGIONALS…
 
- Presbyterian is no stranger to widespread success in the postseason, as they qualified seven for Nationals at this event 12 months ago. Three of those placers went on to earn All-America status as true freshmen, with PC achieving three silver and three bronze medals in Emmanuel last year.

- Henlee Haynes and Cassia Zammit both finished in 2^nd at the Regional tournament in 2024, ultimately coming in 8^th and 5^th respectively at the National bracket in Iowa.

- Maddie Kubicki found the highest spot on the roster after collecting 3^rd in Regionals, grabbing 4^th in the National tourney with a 6-5 defeat of King's Yasmine Oliveira.

- Perhaps a sign of great things to come for the Blue Hose tomorrow, six of their seven National qualifiers from last spring are right back in the mix in 2025. Presby stacked up 10 pins at the Regional bracket last February, beating opponents from six different schools across the day.


 
LAY OF THE LAND
 
- Overall, 12 teams will be battling it out at Emmanuel including the host, with PC joining the company of Allen, Bluefield State, Emory & Henry, Greensboro, Huntingdon, Lincoln Memorial, Newberry, Randolph, Mount Olive, and regional stalwart King.

- Four mats will be displayed at the Shaw Athletic Center, with Emmanuel serving as the hosts for the third consecutive time.


 
STAT-STUFFERS
 
- Presbyterian has a golden opportunity in front of them for more glitz and glamour thanks to one of the deepest rosters in America. Junior Paige Wehrmeister carries the torch in terms of overcall victories with a 26-6 personal record and 16 technical's.

- Rookie Carina Giangeruso has picked up 16 wins by either fall or tech to begin her collegiate career, holding a 25-3 mark (89 percent chance of a win). Other freshmen May Cuyler and Chloe Dearwester have added up for 39 victories next to just three losses.

- Zammit and Kubicki have earned 33 W's between them as they look to follow up on their top-five National finishes from last season, while second-year standout Alyssa Mahan has gained 21 personal wins herself (seven pins, six technical's).
