PARK CITY, Kan. – Southern Oregon University's 11 representatives are set for action at the NAIA Women's Wrestling Championships after the brackets were finalized Thursday night by the national office.

Competition begins at 8 a.m. PDT on both Friday and Saturday at Park City Arena. This is the third tournament since women's wrestling was designated as a "championship" (as opposed to "invitational") sport in in 2022-23. The Raiders won the first, placed third last year and enter this edition as the No. 5-ranked team in the NAIA poll.

Life (Ga.) – the second-place finisher last year to Menlo (Calif.), which has since departed for the NCAA Division II level – is the top-ranked favorite and one of five teams in attendance that maxed out their qualifier totals at 12.

Seven different Raiders have top-eight seeds. Carolina Moreno, SOU's top-seeded 131-pounder, will attempt to win her fourth consecutive title after becoming the program's first three-time champion a season ago. She enters the weekend riding a 64-match winning streak.

The finals are set for a 5 p.m. PDT start on Saturday and will stream live, free of charge, on NAIANetwork.com.
