""So many emotions this weekend- the girls really fought tears, injuries and a 2 day weigh in. They held it together, did what they had to do for themselves, and the team. They made Schreiner known and they made history. This was the 1st ever D3 tournament and it was just in time. We can't wait to go back, and it was great preparation for what's to come in the final stretch of season." - Tarkyia Mensah, Head Women's Wrestling Coach
