FOREST GROVE, Ore. --- Linfield women's wrestling competed in their first tournament of the early season on Saturday, competing at the Mike Clock Open hosted by the Pacific Boxers. Four Wildcats won matches in the tournament.
 
At 103-pounds, Jessica Cottings fell in her first match of the day, but returned with a pin in her next match. Cottings' pin came 1:48 into the match, where she was leading 10-1 at the time. She finished her day with a third match, ending in a 13-2 technical fall to her opponent from Treasure Valley. Cottings earned seven points for the Wildcats team score. 
 At 131, Ashley Swanson fell in both of her matches, first via fall and finishing her day with a technical fall. Cadence Fineran also competed in the 131-pound bracket, winning her first match with a pin just 1:16 into the match. Fineran's day came to an end, falling in her next two matches.
 
Cassidy Jones-Mowen also started off with a win, pinning her opponent and taking the 4-2 result to advance in the bracket. Jones-Mowen battled hard in her next two matches, but was unable to keep up with her opponents from Pacific and Eastern Oregon; falling late in her final match. Jazmyn Seely competed for the 'Cats at 160-pounds, unable to score in two pins early. 
 
Karina Yoder won her opening-round match at 160-pounds, a dominant 14-4 technical fall victory three-minutes into the match. Her run was cut short though, falling 6-0 in the second round and then falling 10-0 in her final match of the day. Ayana Medina dropped her first match at 160-pounds, and although she was leading 6-4 against her final opponent of the day, she was pinned at 2:57, cutting her run short.
 
The Mike Clock Open served as the Wildcats first taste of Division III opponents and familiar opponents this season, and an opportunity to get a look at next week's opponent, Pacific.
 
Women's wrestling is back in action next Friday, set to make their home debut against Pacific at 7 p.m. inside Ted Wilson Gymnasium.
