Life Dual Results | Indiana Tech Dual Results | Individual Results

Williamsburg, KY – The UC women's wrestling team hosted their annual Patriot Duals, this year welcoming both Life University and Indiana Tech. The teams squared off against one another in a team dual format and then competed in an individual tournament across the 10 weight classes.

#7 CUMBERLANDS FALLS TO #5 LIFE, 39-6
UC faced eight ranked wrestlers in the dual against Life including six in the top-ten of their respective weight classes. Despite sending five ranked wrestlers of their own to take on Life, the Running Eagles proved to be too much for UC, who only won a single match. Bridgette Duty needed just 19 seconds into the second period to secure her first win of the season, winning by a 10-0 tech fall against Hailey Finn, the 11th ranked wrestler at 143.  Duty was one of just three UC wrestlers to score a point in their match.

#7 CUMBERLANDS DEFEATS #16 INDIANA TECH, 25-23
The Patriots looked to regroup for their second dual of the day against Indiana Tech. Freshman, Elizabeth Dosado set the tempo for the Patriots earning a fall in the first 14 seconds of action in her 101 matchup. The fall was the first victory of Dosado's career and the first fall of the season for UC.

Indiana Tech won the next four matches to go up 18-5. Understanding that they needed points in a hurry Cumberlands recorded three pins in a row started by last year's pin leader, Andrea Schlabach, who used her signature headlock to secure the fall. Freshman, Emily Alderman followed suit in her first wrestling match for UC with a fall just under two minutes into the contest. Kailee Godinez rounded out the falls in her first match of the season, pinning her opponent at 2:25. The three falls gave UC a 20-18 and followed it up with a forfeit from both team in the final two matches.

Proving to still be one of the best wrestlers in the NAIA, Duty picked up her second and third tech falls of the day in the 136-weight class at the Patriot Duals Individuals. She recorded two 10-0 wins and now has a 21-match win streak dating back to last season. Her two wins in the bracket earned her first place for her weight-class.

Schlabach also went 2-0 in the 136-weight class picking up her second fall of the day and winning a 3-2 decision. The results for the #3 ranked wrestler placed her second among the other 136 wrestlers.
