     RIO GRANDE, Ohio - The University of Rio Grande women's wrestling team earned a split in their home opener Monday night, falling to Bethany (WV) College and rolling past Midway (KY) University in a non-conference triangular at the Newt Oliver Arena.
     The RedStorm fell to the Bison, 30-17, before rebounding with a 31-8 triumph over Midway.
     Midway also dropped a 36-13 decision to Bethany in the night's other dual.
     Rio Grande began the night against Bethany with a 12-0 technical fall win by freshman Alexandria Evans (Barboursville, WV) over McKenna Acampora at 103 pounds, a 6-5 victory by sophomore Haley Williams (Mason, OH) over Ashley Campbell at 110 pounds and a pin by freshman Lyndyn Gibbs (Washington Court House, OH) of Angelina Watson at 117 pounds.
     From that point on, though, the RedStorm managed just one more win against the Bison - an 11-2 decision by junior Kara Bebout (Mechanicsburg, OH) over Jasmine Craddock at 145 pounds.
