Women's Wrestling / 11.25.20
KANSAS CITY, Mo. ---- For the first time in program history, the Life University women's wrestling team earned NAIA Women's Wrestler of the Week honors with freshman
Riley Dalrymple taking the honor.
Wrestlers of the week are evaluated on their performance during the week prior to the announcement of the honor. Each student-athlete is selected out of a pool of weekly award winners from NAIA conferences and NAIA Association of Independent Institutions.
Dalrymple began her freshman season in dominating fashion, recording three falls and two tech falls in her five outings at the Patriot Duals. The freshman grappler from Copenhagen, New York also captured two pins over NAIA ranked opponents. Dalrymple's performance was one of many to boost the Running Eagles to a 2-0 record to begin the season.
"For Riley to be name NAIA National Wrestler of the Week is extremely exciting!" head coach
Ashley Sword exclaimed. "Not many freshmen can walk out of their first week of collegiate competition 5-0. She has not yet begun to tap into her full potential and we have high hopes for not just the rest of the season, but her career. Riley has set a high bar for herself and we are looking forward to what's next."
