The 8th Annual Rollie Hoover/Mort Geller Women's Open will take place Oct. 11-12 at Keystone High School in Meadville, Pa.    The two-day event will kick off on Friday, Oct. 11 with a dual meet between the Univ. of Minnesota-Morris and Cumberland College women's wrestling teams. On Saturday, Oct. 12, an open tournament will take place for women at the Cadet, Junior and Senior levels.    FILA weights will be used, with a 2 kg weight allowance for Junior and Senior level wrestlers.    Minnesota-Morris defeated Cumberland College last year 21-17 in the dual meet. Morris received wins from Liz Short at 46 kg/101.25 lbs., Katrina Betts at 46 kg/101.25 lbs., Patrice Crenshaw at 51 kg/112.25 lbs., and Samantha Branka at 75 kg/165.25 lbs.    Last year's tournament featured over 70 women, including 2002 U.S. Women's World Team member and 2001 World silver medalist Toccara Montgomery of Cumberland College.     Montgomery is expected to compete in the tournament again this year. It will serve as her warm-up for the 2002 Women's World Championships, which will take place Nov. 1-2 in Halkida, Greece. Other returning champions expected to compete in the Senior division are Katrina Betts of UM-Morris, Patrice Crenshaw of UM-Morris, Brandy Rosenbrock of the Shamrock Wrestling Club and Jimi-Dawn Hornbuckle of the NLWC.    Crenshaw and Rosenbrock also captured titles in the Junior division, as did Peggy Van De Mark of UM-Morris.    Beth Larowe of the Wolverine Wrestling Club and Heather Martin of the All-American Wrestling Club are expected to return to defend their Cadet titles.    "We have the most elite women in the country wrestling here, including Toccara Montgomery, who has agreed to return this year as well," stated tournament director John Stanford. "This is the only major  tournament on the East Coast where the women have a place to wrestle freestyle."    The tournament name was changed from the Keystone Open to the Rollie Hoover/Mort Geller Tournament last year in honor of two of the top officials in the U.S. and internationally who have since passed away.    "Rollie Hoover and Mort Geller were two of the greatest men to ever be involved with the sport of wrestling," Stanford said. "They did a lot for wrestling. They did a lot for the wrestlers and the officials."    Weigh-ins for the tournament will begin at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 12. The tournament will begin at 10:00 a.m.    For more information on this event, contact tournament director John Stanford at (814) 337-0859.
