The Muhlenberg women's wrestling team began its second varsity season with an impressive showing, winning every contested bout in a tri-meet at Centenary.

In their first match, the Mules defeated Lackawanna, 32-2. The 32 points broke the school record for a single match, set in a 29-15 defeat of Felician last year - the first dual-meet win in program history. 

The new record lasted less than two hours, as Muhlenberg beat Centenary, 34-11, in its second match of the day.

Sophomore Kelsey Gelb and freshman Gelia Brutus both pinned both of their opponents at the top of the lineup.

Gelb, a national qualifier last season, when 15 of her 20 wins came by fall, flattened her first opponent of the new campaign in just 50 seconds at 180. Brutus, making her collegiate debut, followed with a pin midway through the first period at 207. 

The two flipped weight classes against Centenary and produced similar results, with Brutus needing 33 more seconds to bring her opponent to her back and Gelb finishing off her pin in 58 seconds.

Freshman Sylvyn Parham also won a pair of contested bouts at 117, both by technical fall, in her college debut.

Sophomores Alessandra Rodriguez (pictured above) and Ella Pomeranz each recorded a technical fall against Lackawanna.

Freshman Gabrielle Roberts recorded a first-period pin in an exhibition in her first career bout.
