WPU Falls to Grand View in Heart Dual

Oskaloosa–On the mat for the first time in the calendar year, the Statesmen women’s wrestling team lost to #5 Grand View 37-4 in a Heart of America Athletic Conference dual meet Thursday.

WPU (0-3, 0-1 Heart), which was short-handed entering the evening, fell into a 10-0 by forfeiting at 101 and 109 pounds.

Brittany Cotter (Fr., Katy, Texas, Nursing) finally put the hosts on the scoreboard at 116 pounds, defeating Chloe Krebsbach 13-8.
