Tigers tame Tornado, 36-30
by: Girls Wrestling Contributor
The Lady Tigers traveled on the road for the first time this season as they traveled north to take on the Butler Golden Tornado on Wednesday night.
The dual meet started at 118 where Butler’s Brin Zehmisch picked up a first period fall to give the Golden Tornado a 6-0 lead. North Allegheny responded with a fall from Aleigha Revelant in 56 seconds to tie the score 6-6. Anna Svoboda picked up a forfeit at 130 to give the Tigers a 12-6 lead. Butler won the next two matches by fall to take the lead 18-12. Maya Scott would then bring the dual back to another tie score, 18-18, after she pinned Mylee Toner in 2:29. Sophia Folks and Ava Frailey would pick up forfeits at 155 and 170 to retake the lead 30-18. At 190, Olivia Hageman would get the second period fall to bring the Golden Tornado within six. Alex Gosnell would take the mat for the Lady Tigers at 235. She would be the last match for North Allegheny as there would be double forfeits at 100 and 112 and Butler would be receiving a forfeit at 106. This made 235 a must win for the Lady Tigers. Gosnell would start off the scoring with a takedown, but Butler’s Monica Osborne would score a late first period reversal to make it 3-2 after one period. Gosnell wasted no time in the second period and picked up the fall in 2:16 and locked up the 36-30 win for the Tigers. For her win, Gosnell was named the Wright Automotive Wrestler of the Match for clinching the dual.
North Allegheny improves to 8-5 overall. The Tigers return to action next Wednesday, January 29, when they travel to Saegertown for a 7:00 PM match for their final dual of the year.
