MARSHALL, Mo. – A trio of Southern Oregon University women's wrestlers took third place as the top-ranked Raiders completed their stay at the Missouri Valley Open on Saturday at the Burns Athletic Center.

SOU produced six placers overall at the prestigious tournament, led by 123-pounder Carolina Moreno, 143-pounder Emily Se, and 170-pounder Joye Levendusky. Grace Kristoff (191 pounds) and Esthela Trevino (101) helped the Raiders go 5-1 in placing matches, taking fifth and seventh respectively in their brackets, and Natalie Reyna placed eighth at 109.

Moreno, the NAIA's top-ranked individual at 123, went 6-1 with four pins over two days, losing only against unattached wrestler Katie Gomez in the semifinals. She rolled in her third-place match to a 9-0 victory over Simon Fraser's Victoria Seal.

Se, ranked No. 9 in the NAIA, won her first three matches before going down in the 143 semis against Grand View's No. 4-ranked Alexis Gomez in a 3-2 decision. She recovered with a 9-4 win against Augsburg's Katie Lange and pinned Campbellsville's No. 2-ranked Emma Walker for an upset in the third-place match.

Levendusky continued her hot start as a Raider with a 6-1 weekend that started with two bonus-point wins. The No. 3-ranked senior put an exclamation on her run by defeating No. 5 Abby McIntyre of Grand View in the consolation semis, 10-2, and No. 6 Liliana Vergara of Campbellsville in the third-place match, 5-0.

The No. 11-ranked Kristoff went 6-2 and pinned three consecutive opponents to open the tournament before closing it with a 4-1 win over No. 15 Lessly Sandoval of Saint Mary. Trevino posted a 5-2 record and pinned No. 4-ranked Esther Walker of Midland in the seventh-place match, and Reyna posted a 3-3 record with a pin and two technical falls.
