Statesmen Win Again in Heart Dual

Fulton, Mo.– The No. 3 ranked William Penn women’s wrestling cruised to a 32-5 victory over William Woods, dropping only one weight class in Heart of America Athletic Conference action Tuesday.

While the dual officially started at 103-pounds, the first action the match-up saw was in the 131-pound division. Both teams received forfeit victories, while two other divisions had no contests, Teya Garner (Jr., San Antonio, Texas, Exercise Science) at 110-pounds received the forfeit for WPU (7-2, 4-0 Heart) and William Woods (1-5, 0-1 Heart) received the other at 117-pounds.

The rest of the way William Penn did not have a match go the distance, as every weight class from here ended in pinfall or technical fall.

131-pounder Kendall Bostelman (Sr., Napoleon, Ohio, Exercise Science) won by technical fall pushing the score to 9-5 in WPU’s favor.

William Penn opened the dual with three straight pinfalls, as 138-pounder Espie Almazan (So., Council Bluffs, Iowa, Political Science), 145-pounder Maeley Elsbury (So., Chelsea, Iowa, Undecided), and 160-pounder Kylee Eastwood (Sr., Fontana, Kan., Undecided) pushed the Statesmen ahead 24–5.

The Statesmen stayed in command to the final whistle, with Piper Fowler (Fr., Cleveland, Tenn., Psychology) and Daisy Cabriales (Sr., Richland Hills, Texas, Business Management) closing out the dual with technical falls.
