OKLAHOMA CITY - Led by four individual champions, all who are seniors, the University of the Cumberlands edged host Oklahoma City Univ. to win the fifth annual Women's College Wrestling Association Freestyle National Championships, to be held at Abe Lemons Arena on the campus of Oklahoma City University on Saturday. It was the Cumberlands' third straight national title, but went down to the final matches in a competitive showdown with the OCU team, which is competing in its first season as a varsity program. Individual champions for the Patriots were Melissa Girard (97), Jessica Medina (112.25), Sandy Do (121) and Theresa Fennell (209). Two of the gold-medal wins for the Cumberlands were considered upsets, as Medina and Do, both seeded No. 1 beat top ranked athletes. Medina defeated Junior World bronze medalist Alyssa Lampe of the USOEC at Northern Michigan, 0-1, 7-2, 1-0. Do stopped Amy Borgnini of the USOEC at Northern Michigan, 2-1, 2-1. Medina was named Outstanding Wrestler for the tournament after her impressive finals performance. "We had four seniors and had four champions. That is what we hope for," said Cumberlands coach Kip Flanik. "Oklahoma City brought up the quality of this tournament. Northern Michigan brought a strong group. I am proud of my girls. They had challenges and injuries all year. It was difficult having (defending champion) Jackie Stiles in the stands. This team is a family. We came together, and everybody wrestled hard." Oklahoma City Univ. won three gold medals with Briana Conway (138.75), Melissa Simmons (158.5) and Carrie Clark (180.5). "We thought we could be among the top two or three this year," said Archie Randall, head coach at Oklahoma City Univ. "The girls developed fast and they bought into the program. Cumberlands got two big upsets in the finals. The rest of the finals fell in mostly like we thought it might. The Cumberlands came to win. They wrestled hard." Conway, seeded No. 2, defeated top seed Lauren Knight of the Cumberlands, 2-2, 4-2, 1-0, a match which helped tighten the team contest. Simmons, who wore a face mask after recovering from an auto accident, scored a 1-1, 1-1, 1-0 nailbiter over Lindsey Brooks of the USOEC at Northern Michigan. Missouri Valley placed third with 68 points, followed by the USOEC with 64 points, Menlo Univ. with 41 points, Arizona State with 16 points and the Univ. of Wisconsin-River Falls with five points. The only returning champion from last year in the field, Kelsey Campbell from Arizona State, captured her second straight individual title. She stopped Nikki Darrow of the USOEC at Northern Michigan, 3-0, 1-0 at 59 kg/130 lbs. She was the champion in 2007 at 63 kg/138.75 lbs. Missouri Valley College had an individual champion when No. 2 seed Amberlee Ebert needed three periods to defeat Ashley Sword of Oklahoma City University, 0-3, 3-0, 1-1. The USOEC at Northern Michigan had an individual champion at 48 kg/105.5 lbs., as Sadie Kaneda defeated 2006 Junior World champion Nicole Woody of Oklahoma City University, 1-0, 6-0 The champions at the seven World Championship weight classes, (48 kg, 51 kg, 55 kg, 59 kg, 63 kg, 67 kg and 72 kg) qualified for the U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Wrestling on June 13-15 at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas.
