Izmir, Turkey - Four of the five U.S. women competing in freestyle wrestling at the 2005 World University Games won bronze medals on Monday evening at the Ozel Yamanlar High School Sports Hall.    Winning bronze were Sara Fulp-Allen (El Granada, Calif./Menlo College), Mary Kelly (Mahomet, Ill./Northern Michigan Univ./New York AC), Marcie Van Dusen (Colorado Springs, Colo./Univ. of Minnesota-Morris/Sunkist Kids) and Alaina Berube (Escanaba, Mich./Cumberland College/New York AC).    This was the first time that women's wrestling was competed at the World University Games.    Fulp-Allen won a bronze medal at 48 kg/105.5 lbs. after she defeated Hyung-Joo Kim of Korea (2-1, 2-0). In the first period, Kim scored the first takedown, but Fulp-Allen countered back with two takedowns of her own. In the second period, Fulp-Allen controlled the movement, scoring her first takedown 45 seconds into the period and her second takedown just one minute later.     "I have to go home and work on what I did wrong (in the tournament)," Fulp-Allen said when asked of her performance. "I was glad to get more matches in, though, because that is really what I need to do, wrestle more internationally."    To get to the bronze-medal match, Fulp-Allen had to win one repechage match.    In her repechage match, Fulp-Allen downed Filiz Cikikci of Turkey, who placed seventh in the 2004 Junior European Championships, (1-0, 5-1). In the first period, Fulp-Allen waited for the perfect time to take her first strong shot attempt - with only 12 seconds remaining in the period.    In the second period, Cikikci scored first with a takedown, but Fulp-Allen countered late in the period with a takedown and two, two-point rolls.    Kelly also had to beat a Turkish wrestler to get a bronze medal at 51 kg/112.25 lbs. Kelly defeated Zeynep Yildrim (1-0, 3-0).    In the first period, neither wrestler was able to gain an advantage. Yildrim won the coin toss to clinch first, but Kelly quickly cleared her leg and was able to finish a takedown of her own for the period victory.    In the second period, Kelly countered a Yildrim shot at the midway point by putting Yildrim on her back for three points. Those were all the points Kelly would need to come out on top.    "I just tried to wrestle a very smart match," Kelly said. "I wanted to work to control the tie-ups, and for the most part I feel like I did a pretty good job of that."    Van Dusen trailed So Ra Lee of Korea in all three periods at 55 kg/121 lbs., but Van Dusen still battled for a win by fall (1-3, 3-1, 1:59).    In the first period, Lee used rolled Van Dusen and held her for five seconds for a 3-0 lead. In the second period, Van Dusen used a two-point roll of her own with only 12 seconds remaining to force a third period. In the final stanza, Van Dusen trailed 1-0 with 13 seconds remaining before throwing Lee to her back and pinning her.    "There were some openings there," Van Dusen said after the win. "She made a mistake and I caught her on it. I just knew that I needed to score at least one point to win. Anything that I was able to get after that was a plus."    Berube also earned a pin in her bronze-medal bout. Berube pinned two-time Pan American Championships gold medalist Juliana Borges of Brazil in the second period at 63 kg/138.75 lbs.    In the first period, Berube scored a three-point throw midway through the period. With only two seconds remaining, Borges rolled Berube to her back, but was awarded only two points and Berube won the period.    In the second period, Berube began with a blast double-leg, taking Borges to her back for a 3-0 lead. Borges battled back, scoring a takedown and a two-point tilt before Berube reversed Borges and put her on her back for the fall.    "She was making a comeback, but she stepped too far there near the end. The opening was there, so I took it," Berube said of her pin.    Overall, the U.S. women placed fourth as a team, behind Japan, Canada and Ukraine.    Greco-Roman competition will begin on Tuesday morning at 10:00 in Izmir. Four weight classes, 55 kg/121 lbs., 66 kg/145.5 lbs., 84 kg/185 lbs. and 120 kg/264.5 lbs., will be competed. TheMat.com will provide complete results.
