White Qualifies for Nationals as Three Spartans Place at Regionals

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. - The York women's wrestling program continued to make history by producing a national qualifier during the team's inaugural appearance at the National Collegiate Women's Wrestling Championships (NCWWC) Region I Championships on Saturday hosted by Lock Haven University.

Freshman Maura White will be heading to the NCWWC National Championships in Cedar Rapids, Iowa after placing second at 136 lbs. White firmly met the criteria of placing top-four in her weight class at the regional tournament in order to advance to the national stage.

Two other Spartans joined White on the podium as freshman Faith Warner took sixth at 109 lbs. and freshman Allison Brandt placed sixth at 170 lbs. Ava Weibley (123), Megan Knapp (123) Rebekah Patzke (143) and Emma Lavalle (191) also represented York at regionals and will forever be remembered as the program's first-ever postseason lineup.

As a team, the Spartans finished ninth out of 12 teams at the Region I Championships. No. 7 Sacred Heart won the team title with 203 points, followed by No. 8 Lock Haven (154), No. 20 East Stroudsburg (142), No. 22 Elmira (106.5) and Delaware Valley (78.5) in the top five.

White put together one her best performances of the season as she went 3-1 on the day with back-to-back falls to begin her campaign. The Spartan freshman pulled off a dramatic comeback victory in the semifinals over Aliza Leander (Sacred Heart) as she scored nine points in the second period to erase an 8-0 deficit and win the match, 9-8. In the title bout, White scored the first points of the bout, but then fifth-ranked Grace Stem (LHU) ripped off 12 unanswered to win the match by technical superiority, 12-2.

White is now 19-7 on the year and has won nine of her last 12 matches heading to Cedar Rapids for nationals on March 8-9.

Warner finished her season with an overall record of 17-11 after going 3-3 on Saturday with a fall and a pair of technical falls. She landed on the podium three times throughout the season following her sixth-place finish at regionals.

Brandt capped off her season with a 12-12 record after going 3-3 at regionals with a pair of falls. She compiled five podium appearances throughout the season, capped off by her sixth-place finish at the regional tournament on Saturday.
