Cooper was named the female athlete of the week after winning the 170 lbs. weight class at the Warriors Open.  Cooper went 3-0 on the week for her second career tournament win with one win over a ranked opponent.  The Cerritos, CA native was dominant across all three matches beginning with a fall (1:41) over 16^th-ranked Catherine McNulty of Indiana Tech.  Cooper was leading that match 4-0 at the time of the fall and we saw a similar performance in the semifinals where she had a 4-0 lead over Sierra Chaces of Campbellsville before tallying her second fall of the tournament (1:32). In the championship match, Cooper blanked Adrian's Aspen Dodge on a 10-0 tech fall in the first period to win the 170 lbs. class.  Cooper is 18-2 on the season with the two tournament wins to her credit.
