ARLINGTON, Va. - First-year Ariana Carnahan picked up two wins to lead the McDaniel College women's wrestling team in a tri-match against Southern Virginia and Marymount (VA) on Saturday.

The Green Terror (4-5) dropped a close contest against Southern Virginia in the opener, 28-21, before falling to Marymount (VA), 40-8.

Carnahan was the lone multiple winner for McDaniel, posting a 2-0 record at 117 pounds with a win by forfeit against the Knights and a 15-6 decision against the host Saints. She has won five matches in-a-row and leads the team in wins this season with a 12-7 record.

In the opener against Southern Virginia (2-2), the Green Terror trailed by just two points on two occasions at 8-6 and 18-16. First-year Alex Adams secured a win by fall in just 1:09 at 138 pounds before first-year Lena Black posted a fall in just 24 seconds at 145 pounds to pull McDaniel within two for the second time.

However, the Knights recorded back-to-back falls at 160 and 180 pounds to seal the win.

Marymount (6-10) won eight of 10 matches by fall or technical fall with Grace Bolstad earning a 10-0 win at 110 pounds and Katianna Martinez recording a fall in 1:02 at heavyweight. Bolstad is ranked fifth in Region 3 while Martinez is second in Region 3.

While Carnahan received a forfeit, first-year Alize Franze delivered the team's only fall, pinning Mia Gutierrez-Fuentes in just 23 seconds at 124 pounds. Franze recorded the fifth-fastest fall in program history and the ninth in 30 seconds or less.
