Augsburg earns dual meet victory over Stevens Point
MINNEAPOLIS — In its first-ever home dual, the Augsburg University women’s wrestling team posted a 30-12 victory over the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point on Sunday afternoon at Si Melby Hall.
Augsburg is ranked No. 3 in the latest NWCA/NCAA national rankings and No. 6 in the Women’s Collegiate Wrestling Association national rankings.
Top-ranked 109-pounder Emily Shilson (FY, Maple Grove, Minn./Mounds View HS) kicked off the dual with a 10-0 technical fall in bout that lasted less than 30 seconds.
At 123 pounds, Vayle-Rae Baker (FY, Benton, Pa./Wyoming Seminary), ranked No. 3 in the NWCA/NCAA and No. 2 in the WCWA, picked up a pin, her fifth fall of the season, moving her record to 13-2 overall.
Savannah Vold (SO, Rochester, Minn./Mayo HS) picked up a big 6-1 decision for the Auggies at 130 pounds, her third victory of the season.
At 133 pounds, Gabby Skidmore (FY, Spooner, Wis./Cumberland HS) took the forfeit for the Auggies.
In one of the most evenly matched bouts of the afternoon, Kahlea Jolly (FY, Lino Lakes, Centennial HS) scored a 6-6 criteria decision. In freestyle wrestling, as there is no overtime, the wrestler to score most recently gains the win on criteria.
Marlynne Deede (FY, Springville, Utah/Springville HS) and Faith Tuttle (FT, North St. Paul, Minn./North St. Paul HS) picked up forfeits for the Auggies at 155 and 191 pounds respectively.
