GREAT FALLS, Mont. – The University of Providence women's wrestling program had three wrestlers take first place at the Battle of the Rockies Saturday.

#1 Erin Hikiji, #2 Waipuilani Estrella-Beauchamp, and #4 Paige Morales all were unbeaten on their way to titles. Hikiji spent less than a minute on the mat in total pinning her teammate in the semifinals before pinning #3 Makayla Johnson in 20 seconds to win the 103 bracket.  

Morales picked up three ranked victories on her way to the 109-title, defeating #11 Nizhoni Tallman, #9 Tehani Soares, and #3 Emma Baertlin in the championship. Estrella-Beauchamp went 4-0 with a pair of tech falls in under thirty seconds followed by two pins in less than thirty seconds.

The Argos had a couple other wrestlers pick up ranked victories in #11 Kailey Rees defeating #7 Mia Crumb twice on her way to a third-place finish. Sophomore Kayla Vail defeated #10 Marrissa Kurtz to finish in sixth place, and freshman Mackenzie English defeated #20 Hannah Seitzinger to finish in fourth.
