PRINCETON, N.J. – A historic afternoon for the Ursinus College women's wrestling team as they opened their inaugural season at the Princeton Open on Sunday.
 
 
"The coaching staff is incredibly proud of how we competed today," Director of Wrestling Joe Jamison said. "It was the first college competition for all of them, and the first time competing ever for half of them. Coming away with a few wins and putting some points on the board is a great start. We know we have work to do but there was a lot of positives today and the team is looking forward to getting back to work."
 

 
First-year Jocelyn Lass opened for Ursinus at 116lbs and recorded her first collegiate victory after a 10-0 victory by superiority over Rider's Jesenia Camargo. In the quarterfinals, Lass fell by superiority to Presbyterian's Ainslie Lane and ended her day in the consolations after a 12-2 VSU defeat.
