Women’s Wrestling Competes at NCWWC Nationals

KERRVILLE, TX: The Schreiner University Women’s Wrestling team traveled to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to compete in the 2024 NCWWC National Championships, hosted at Alliant Power House Energy Center.

It was a great showing for the Mountaineers at nationals as they closed out their season with an 18^th place team finish out of 49 teams through all NCAA divisions.

At the individual level, the Mountaineers were led by Odelia Lopez (Junior / Corpus Christi, TX) who knocked off the #3 ranked wrestler in the country at 101lbs to win the 5^th place All-American match.

Other strong performances for the Mountaineers came from Jaia Ashley (Senior / Cypress, TX) and Ileah Brown (Freshman / Lewisville, TX) who both wrestled to the blood round and finished in the top 10, each going 2-2. Azana King (Freshman / Bedford, TX) and Jadine Mata (Freshman / El Paso, TX) also wrestled well, with both finishing in the top 14, each going 1-2.

With their season now officially concluded, the Mountaineers can look back at what was a very successful season that included three St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SLIAC) Wrestlers of the Week, a 2024 SLIAC Women’s Wrestling conference championship, ten 2024 SLIAC All-Conference selections, a 2024 SLIAC Newcomer of the Year selection (Jadine Mata), a 2024 SLIAC Coaching Staff of the Year selection, five wrestlers qualifying for nationals, and a top-20 national finish as a team.
