GRAND JUNCTION, Colo – The No. 3 Colorado Mesa women's wrestling team won nine of the ten matches in the final home dual of the year as they secured a 40-7 win over the #5 (NJCAA) Snow College Badgers on Thursday (Dec. 8) evening in Brownson Arena.
 
The win runs the Mavericks dual winning streak to 12 that dates to the 2020-21 COVID season.
 
Colorado Mesa received four forfeits in the dual which came at 101, 109, 123, and 170 while also securing two pins.
 
At 136 pounds, redshirt sophomore and No. 5 ranked Holly Beaudoin earned a pin in just 18 seconds over Corrie Williams. Beaudoin, a 2022 all-American at 136 pounds, made her season debut this evening securing another pin in one of the extra matches.
 
True freshman Aynslee Hester continued her strong start to the season as she picked up a pin at 2:56 over Angella Van Valkenburg. It was a see-saw battle that saw both wrestlers on their back at times in the bout, but it was the North Bend, Wash. product that was able to come out on top with the pin.
 
Lizzie Miller earned a technical fall win at 130 pounds while Celina Cooke (143) and Jayleen Sekona (191) each earned decision victories.
 
The Mavericks will be back in action next weekend as they travel to Sin City for the Desert Duals hosted by Wartburg College. Action begins on Sunday at 8am.
