LYNCHBURG, Va.— The Montreat women's wrestling team competed in its first dual action of the 2024-25 season Saturday afternoon at the Liberty Duals in Lynchburg, Va. Not only did the Cavaliers get their first win under head coach Koby Reyes, but they also went a perfect 4-0 to start the year undefeated. With the four victories, the Cavs have already set a single-season program record for wins.
 
Facing their toughest competition right out of the gate, the Cavaliers impressed against Brewton-Parker College (1-1), a team receiving votes in the latest edition of the NAIA Women's Wrestling Coaches' Top 20 Rating. The Barons started on top, sandwiching Chloe Carver's 3-0 decision triumph at 110 with a pair of pins. Montreat stormed back, though, utilizing a forfeit and four pins to clinch the dual. Shelby Sherman, Uriah Peters-Gutierrez, Nicole Lewis and Audrey Gribble overpowered their foes to help seal the 29-17 victory.
 
Four forfeits were enough to give Montreat the win over Southern Virginia University (1-1), but its wrestlers weren't done there. Annastasia Skoda won via 10-0 tech fall in the 131-lb weight class, while Sherman, Peters-Gutierrez and Marissa Delacruz all bagged triumphs by fall. In the end, the Cavaliers topped the Knights, 39-9.

Most of the Cavs' bouts in their 38-10 win over Liberty University (0-2) resulted in forfeits. Montreat did go 3-1 in the four contested weight classes, however, as Skoda and Peters-Gutierrez utilized tech falls and Lewis delivered a pin to cruise in the matchup.
 
Morgan Repasky set the tone in the Cavaliers' final dual of the afternoon. Pinning her opponent in just 75 seconds, Repasky jumpstarted a 25-0 Montreat lead. Peters-Gutierrez and Lewis claimed victories via injury, and the Cavaliers closed out their perfect day with a 35-15 triumph.
 
"It was a fun day to compete as a team in our first duals of the season," said head coach Koby Reyes. "I'm really proud of the women putting the team first and competing tough."
