GREENVILLE, N.C. (Nov. 5) – After claiming the individual championship at 103, University of Mount Olive freshman Lillian Prendergast was selected as the Conference Carolinas Wrestler of the Week by the league office on Tuesday afternoon.

Prendergast posted a perfect 3-0 record in the 103-weight class on Saturday in her first collegiate competition with Mount Olive in the Trojan Open. 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.

She becomes the first-ever recipient of the weekly conference honor in the inaugural season of women's wrestling in South Atlantic Conference Carolinas.

Mount Olive return to action tomorrow, Wednesday, Nov. 6, when it travels to face Bluefield State in a dual meet, starting at 6 p.m.
