STORM LAKE, Iowa (Nov. 13, 2024) - The Buena Vista University women's wrestling team hosted just its second-ever home match when Dakota Wesleyan University visited Siebens Fieldhouse on Wednesday night, and the Beavers picked up wins in two of the three matches wrestled en route to the program's first-ever dual meet victory, 35-10.

Freshman Kayeleigh Bowden brought the crowd to its feet at 145 pounds during her home debut when she recorded her second fall of the year - this one in 1:23 - to put the Beavers on top 30-5 after the first contested match of the dual. The Tigers got their first victory in a contested match with a pin at 180 pounds before BVU sophomore Magalie Mogiga put the finishing touches on the victory with a thrilling fall at 1:27 for her first triumph of the season.

BVU built the early advantage with forfeit wins by Aurora Preston (103), Harley Tobin (110), Evelyn Kramer (117), Breanna Angus (124), and Shania Graybill (138). All but Graybill were making their home collegiate debut.

Buena Vista sits at 1-0 on the year and travels to Loras College on Thursday, Nov. 21, for an American Rivers Conference dual against the Duhawks starting at 7 p.m.
