ELMIRA, N.Y. – The Sacred Heart University women's wrestling team, a force to be reckoned with in the Northeast region all season, demonstrated their resilience on Saturday.

With an unwavering determination, the Pioneers showcased their strength, scoring an impressive 152 points behind four first-place finishers at 103 pounds, 117 pounds, 160 pounds, and 180 pounds.

Host Elmira took home the championship with 154 points, bouncing back from a fourth-place finish last season. Western New England College followed in third with 136.5 points, while D'Youville claimed fourth with 93 points.
