     After receiving a first round bye, Evans defeated Lindsey Wilson University's Skyler Randolph in overtime, 13-6, before posting a 10-0 technical fall triumph over Adrian University's Vy Tran in the quarterfinal round of the championship bracket.
     Evans was the victim of a 10-0 technical fall loss to Indiana Tech's Zoey Haney in the semifinals, but rebounded with a pin of Otterbein's Vita Savage at 1:35 of their consolation bracket semifinal match.
     Evans suffered another technical fall loss - to Chiara Barbieri of West Liberty University - in the third place match.
     Gibbs started her day off with a 10-0 technical fall loss to Lindsey Wilson's Grace Lashinsky, but then followed up a first round consolation bye with five consecutive victories to reach the third-place match in her weight class.
