"This was a very productive trip for our team, they continue to get better each meet." Said head coach Frank Johnson following the duals.
 
"Jessica [Cottings] is getting to her offense and becoming strong while on top. Cadence [Fineran] had a great day and is starting to wrestle to her strengths, she is incredibly strong and explosive. Cassidy [Jones-Mowen] showed grit today, battling a stoppage in her second match of the day, still choosing to finish out the match. Overall, the girls won more matches than they lost today and they're continuing to do the things we work to improve on."
 
The Wildcats pick right back up in just a few short days, heading to Las Vegas, Nevada, for the annual Desert Duals tournament set to begin on Wednesday at 9 a.m.
