Centerville, IA – Despite winning more matches than its opponent, No. 1 ranked Indian Hills Women's Wrestling fell at home to No. 5 nationally ranked Southeast Community College (NE) 26-23 Wednesday night at the Multi-Purpose Building on the Indian Hills Centerville campus.
The Warriors, making their 2025 home debut, dropped the opening three matches to fall behind 13-1 early to the Bobcats. Indian Hills picked up its first win of the night at 124lbs as No. 5 nationally ranked Gabriela Avila Diaz (San Juan, Puerto Rico/Academia Bautista De Puerto Nuevo) scored an 11-4 decision to earn three team points. Diaz picked up a pair of late takedowns to surge past Jasmine Ortega, ranked No. 5 in the nation at 117lbs.
Indian Hills continued to battle back with a victory at 131lbs as freshman Kaylea Beauchamp, ranked No. 6 in the nation, earned a win over No. 7 ranked Lacy Lemburg with a 5-0 decision. The Warriors pullled to within a 15-10 deficit at 138lbs as freshman Jasmine Wolfe (Blakesburg, IA/Smith-Cotton) picked up a 5-1 decision.
Southeast earned a forfeit victory at 145lbs, but the Warriors rattled off back-to-back victories behind No. 1 nationally ranked individuals Nevaeh Hayden (Tulsa, OK/Union) and Paola Rodriguez (Vega Baja, Puerto Rico/Rosalina C. Martinez). Hayden, the defending national champion and No. 1 pound-for-pound wrestler in the nation earned a 13-6 decision over No. 4 nationally ranked Anyia Roberts at 160lbs. Rodriguez, an All-American from a year ago, scored an electrifying fall in just 13 seconds of the opening round to pull Indian Hills within three, 21-18.
