Lady Vikes Place Four At EOU

After a bumpy opening weekend for BBCC Women's Wrestling due to injuries, the Lady Vikes hoped to be healthy are ready to go as they traveled to La Grande, OR to compete in the Eastern Oregon Mountaineer Open on November 4th. Head Coach Desiree Zavala made it clear that expectations were not met during opening weekend dispite injuries and that they had work to do prior to the Mountaineer Open. The lady Vikes seemed to respond as they had 4 ladies place in the top ten, with Jhaile DeGuzman finishing in first place. Other notable finishes were Kyah Miller finishing in third place, Natalie Johnson finishing in fourth place and Emily Barragan rounding it out for the Vikings finishing in sixth place. 

Zavala was pleased with the Lady Vikes performance as they executed the game plan that had been put in place throughout the course of the week. "The girls did a great job of warming up/cooling down after their matches, which is something I have been stressing."

Although progress was made, Zavala emphasized that they are not where they want to be yet, "The girls improved as a group. There was an obvious difference from last weeks duel, but we still have a lot of growth and development to go."

The Lady Vikes have a busy weekend coming up as they with be competing at Grays Harbor College on Saturday, and wrestling in the Mike Clock Open Sunday. 

As always, keep up with the Lady Vikings on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, as well as through the NWACSports Network's livestream video platform, where available.
