Oklahoma City University won all four of its duals to start the women's wrestling season Sunday at Abe Lemons Arena.

The Stars, ranked No. 1 in the Women's College Wrestling Association, defeated Missouri Valley 38-6, Wayland Baptist (Texas) 42-5, Missouri Valley Orange 46-2 and Wayland Baptist Gold 48-0. Three-time defending national champion OCU improved to 55-0-1 in its past 56 duals.

OCU coach Archie Randall said he hopes to see improvement when the Stars compete next. The top four ranked teams in the WCWA meet in a series of duals starting 10 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 9 at Abe Lemons Arena.

“It's the opening of the season, and we were great at times and bad at times,” Randall said. “The younger girls were nervous and uptight. The older girls feel the pressure of the season starting. I have a little bit of concern, but not like I would in the past. The younger girls and the older girls haven't jelled together like we have before, but we're solid.”

On the day, Kristie Davis, Michaela Hutchison, Joey Miller and Tessa Plana each won four times, twice by forfeit and twice by pin for OCU. Brittany Delgado picked up three falls and a win by decision.

Against Missouri Valley, the Stars compiled six falls. Emily Webster, Davis, Delgado, Hutchison, Miller and Plana notched pins for OCU. Kirsten Strickler beat Evelyn Perez 6-0, 7-0 in a technical fall at 123 pounds.

Against Wayland Baptist, OCU put together six pins. Kristi Garr, Davis, Delgado, Hutchison, Miller and Plana each had falls. Hutchison, a senior from Soldotna, Alaska, finished off Darlene Fernandez in 19 seconds at 130. Plana, a senior from Coppell, Texas, picked up the fall with one second left in the first period against Jeneshia Woods at 136.

The Stars benefited from six forfeits against the Missouri Valley Orange team. At 109, Garr edged Jenny Torres 1-0, 0-1, 1-0. Jennifer Page prevailed 5-2, 7-0 at 143 before Heather O'Connor at 170 and Delgado at 191 won by fall at 170.

The Wayland Baptist Gold team forfeited at eight weights against OCU. Strickler, a junior from Frisco, Texas, had a pin at 123, and Delgado won 4-0, 6-0 over Miriam Moreno at 191.
