Head Coach
Ashley Sword had this to say of the night, "Tonight we switched up the line up and a few more ladies were able to step on the mat for the first time in a Life singlet." Continuing on how busy the team has been over the past few days, "You could see some of the effects of three long days of travel and beginning of season nerves, but the ladies were able to get the job done." Looking forwards, Coach Sword said, "We've seen a lot over the last two days and have plenty to work on back in the room."
The women's wrestling team will be out of action the next couple of weeks before heading to No. 16 Indiana Tech for a conference showdown on Saturday, December 12th.
