ADRIAN, Mich. – What a start to the Gannon women's wrestling team's 2024-25 dual-meet schedule.
 
Coach Erin Vandiver's Gannon team went 5-0 while beating two ranked teams at the Adrian Duals on Saturday as it more than doubled its win total from 2023-24. Vandiver's first Gannon team went 2-6 last season.
 
Gannon opened with a 33-12 victory over Aurora (Ill.), the No. 10-ranked team, according to the NWCA. GU then tied No. 11 Schreiner (Texas) 22-22 but won the dual on a tiebreaker by getting five falls to Schreiner's four.
 
Gannon then routed Hiram (Ohio) 48-1 and topped Brock (Ontario) 26-18.
 
The Golden Knights were originally scheduled to wrestle four duals, but Vandiver agreed to a fifth dual against host Adrian. Gannon emerged from that dual with a 36-14 victory.
 
Among the top contributors for Gannon on Saturday were 103-pounder Jada Badayos-Chaves (Odenton, Md./Arundel High) (three wins), 110-pounder Kat Pendergrass (Bracey, Va./South Granville (N.C.)) (five wins), Jayden Bazemore (Cypress, Texas/Cypress Ranch) (four wins at 124 and 131), 160-pounder Nyla Burgess (Ajax, Ontario/Pickering High School) (three wins), and 180-pounder Bella Phillips (Bellingham, Wash./Squalicum High School) (four wins).
 

Up next:

Gannon will compete in the Adrian Invitational on Sunday as their wrestlers go for individual titles in the tournament format.
