MOUNT OLIVE (Nov. 4) – In the opening event of the 2024-25 season, freshman Lillian Prendergast captured individual medalist honors in the 103-weight class on Saturday, as the Trojans featured a trio of wrestlers on the podium at the Trojan Open in Kornegay Arena.

The University of Mount Olive women's wrestling program had eight wrestlers in the event, including four newcomers to the roster. The Trojans featured at least one wrestler in seven of the 10 weight classes.

Prendergast posted a perfect 3-0 record at 103 on Saturday in her first collegiate competition with Mount Olive. After receiving an opening-round bye, she produced a fall in just 48 seconds over Olivia Collins of Greensboro in the quarterfinals before defeating Morgan Repasky of Montreat by a 10-0 tech fall. In the championship match, Prendergast captured the individual title via forfeit over Angelina Casteneda of Cumberlands.

Freshman O'marzria Wright delivered a stellar performance in the 110-weight class after finishing as the runner-up behind a 3-1 mark. She won by fall in the opening two rounds after defeating Chloe Carver of Montreat and Ashley Courtney of Cumberlands. In the semifinals, Wright posted a victory via a 12-2 tech fall versus Payton Agnell of Lindsey Wilson but fell the title match to Reagan Thomas of Lindsey Wilson by an 18-7 tech fall.

In the 207 weight class, sophomore Andrea Smith produced a fourth-place finish after posting a 2-2 record. Following a first-round bye, she suffered a loss by fall in the quarterfinals before registering back-to-back wins. Smith recorded victories via fall over Audrey Gribble of Montreat and Jayna Rolland of Allen. In the third-place match, she dropped a decision by fall against Hayeni Costa of Lindsey Wilson.

The Trojans return to the mat on Wednesday, Nov. 6, when they travel to face Bluefield State in a dual meet, starting at 6 p.m.
