KATERINI, Greece – Colorado Mesa women's wrestling had a pair of individuals compete at the U20 Beach Wrestling World Championships and UWW Senior World Series event in Greece over the weekend.
 
Redshirt sophomore Adriana Gomez placed third in both events over the weekend. She started the weekend with three wins in her pool all coming in the first minute of action during the U20 World Championships.
 
In the semifinals, she fell to Ana Maria Rotaru of Romania 3-2 before rebounding with a 3-0 win in the third-place match at 50kg.
 
In her second event of the weekend, Gomez placed third at the UWW Senior Beach World Series event at 50kg. In the third-place bout, the Laveen, Ariz. native defeated former Beach World Champion Stefania Ivascu Priceputu of Romania 1-0. Gomez was able to force Priceputu's knee to the sand for the lone point of the bout and was able to withstand a late flurry of moves by the Romanian to secure the medal.
 
Gomez' three-day performance was spectacular as she finished with a record of 8-2 across the two events and didn't surrender a point in six matches.
 
Redshirt freshman Molli Dare competed in the 70kg division of the U20 Beach World Championships. Dare finished 1-2 in her pool defeating Yu Sato of Japan by pin at 1:23.
 
Gomez along with Colorado Mesa teammate Alyssa Jackson, and former Mavericks Isabeau Shalack and Jolynn Harris will compete at the final event of the season in Alexandria, Egypt on October 18-19.
