Wrestlers take 7th at Multi-National Duals

FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Wayland Baptist matched its national ranking by finishing seventh at the NWCA Multi-National Duals here Friday and Saturday.
 
After winning two of three matches Friday, the No. 7 Pioneers on Saturday dropped a 27-14 decision to sixth-ranked Lindenwood, Mo., before facing Missouri Valley in a rematch from Friday, when the Pioneers prevailed in their opening dual, 30-17. Wayland was even more dominant Saturday, taking it 33-8.
 
"We came in (ranked) seventh and we got seventh. That's kind of been the story all year long," Wayland coach Aaron Meister said. "The one thing I can say about this team is we're consistent."
 
Marina Briceno finished the weekend undefeated, winning all five of her matches in the 143-pound division. Against No. 6 Lindenwood, Briceno was one of three Pioneers to win, joined by Rhonda Johnson at 109 and Jathiya Isaac at 123.
 
"Marina did well," Meister said. "Everybody contributed. We kind of shuffled the line-up here and there depending on what we needed to do, and everybody chipped in.
 
"We're gGetting better on a daily basis," the coach added. "If we can continue to stay consistent and be injury free, I think we will climb up toward of the year."
 
Wayland is at home for its final two regular-season events of the season, duals against No. 24 Emmanuel, Ga., and No. 19 Ottawa, Kan., on Jan. 30. WCWA Nationals follows that on Feb. 12-13 in Oklahoma City.
 
"We're looking forward to getting back home and getting ready for our Jan. 30 home dual," Meister said. "We're on the final stretch."
