Cavaliers trounce Wasps in Virginia

EMORY, Va.— The Montreat College women's wrestling team traveled to the state of Virginia Thursday evening for its initial team dual matchup of the year. Going head-to-head against the Emory & Henry University Wasps, the Cavaliers rolled past the hosts, cruising to a 38-10 triumph and matching the second-largest margin of victory in program history. With the lopsided win, the Cavs start the year 1-0, while the Wasps begin the campaign 0-1.
 
Montreat jumped out to a 30-0 advantage before Emory & Henry managed to find its way onto the scoreboard. Manoela Almeida, Ashlyn Eggers and Dayra Martinez recorded forfeit victories across the opening three weight classes. Daniela Espinal, Annastasia Skoda and Izzy Campbell then followed up those free wins with three consecutive pins at 124, 131 and 138. Espinal scored five points for her squad in 1:20, while Skoda and Campbell did the same in 1:41 and 5:00, respectively.
 
The Wasps scored back-to-back wins in the 145-lb and 160-lb weight classes. An 11-0 tech fall got the hosts on the board, and a pin in 59 seconds helped Emory & Henry close the gap further. However, 30-9 proved to be as close as the home side could get.
 
Shay Potter, who is tied for No. 20 at 180 in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Women's Wrestling Coaches' Top 20 poll, seized a tight 4-3 decision over her opposition. Daniella Jenkins then wrapped up the evening with a win via pin, needing just 1:29 to do so in the 207-lb matchup. With the final clash in the books, the Cavaliers put the finishing touches on their 38-10 victory.
 
"It was an encouraging start to our dual season," said head coach Koby Reyes. "We competed hard and look forward to getting back into competition on Saturday."
 
The Montreat College women's wrestling team returns to action on Saturday, Nov. 8 when it heads to Marietta, Ga. for the Eagle Madness Open. Bouts are scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.
