CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - No. 8 Menlo College took on three of the country's finest women's wrestling squads and came up short in all three at the NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals on Saturday and Sunday inside the UNI-Dome.
 

The Oaks opened the event by nearly pulling an upset against No. 7 Missouri Valley, only to succumb 19-17. Menlo lost later on Saturday to No. 1 Oklahoma City, 34-4. In Sunday's fifth-place dual, the Oaks were forced to forfeit a pair of matches en route to a 31-8 loss.

 

Senior star Katherine Fulp-Allen shone bright for Menlo once again, winning all three of her matches at the event. Fulp-Allen, currently ranked No. 2 at 51 kg, pinned No. 7 Brittany Bertolani in her first match before defeating No. 1 Natasha Umemoto 64, 2-2, 1-0. It was the third time in the span of nine days that Fulp-Allen defeated Umemoto, who she is sure to replace atop the individual ratings the next time they are released. In her final match of the weekend Fulp-Allen won a 6-0, 6-0 decision over No. 7 Odeatha Marshal.

 

Freshman Keaton Long, currently ranked No. 6 nationally, continued to stand out for Menlo by winning a pair of matches. Long defeated Samantha Richardson in her opening match, 1-0, 3-0, before dropping a tight decision to No. 7 Brittney Roberts, 7-9, 6-0, 4-2. Long cruised 4-0, 5-0 against Lindenwood's Amanda Duran.

 

No. 5 Brittany Caoile won once at 95 kg, defeating sixth-ranked Morgan Touhey of Missouri Valley, 1-0, 3-0. Freshman Sherylyn Sabado earned the Oaks other victory by forfeit to begin the competition.

 

Menlo finishes its dual slate with a 2-7 record and will not compete again until the Women's College Wrestling Association Nationals on Jan. 30.
