PRINCETON, N.J. – Six Ursinus women's wrestlers placed at the Princeton Open as the Bears kicked off their 2026-27 season at Jadwin Gymnasium on Sunday.
 
First-year Princessstorm Woody shined in her collegiate debut, winning the 110-pound weight class, and becoming the second Bear to accomplish the feat after sophomore Jurelys Peguero del Rosario won the title last season. Senior Mandy Gavares (103) reached the finals for the second consecutive season, finishing second, while fellow senior Cloe Charlesworth (145) and Peguero del Rosario (180) each placed third. Junior Emma Sagi (138) and first-year Maggie Campbell (110) each finished fifth for Ursinus.
 
Woody, seeded second at 110 pounds, posted a 4-0 record on Sunday to win her first collegiate tournament. In the round of 16, she earned an 11-0 victory by technical superiority over Emory & Henry's Sayler Chappell to advance to the quarterfinals. Next, Woody collected a 3-1 decision against Presbyterian's Anna Ockerman, and a 7-4 decision against Presbyterian's Samantha Van der Weken clinched her berth in the finals. In the finals, Woody defeated Presbyterian's Charliee Shuler, a 2025 national championship qualifier, by an 8-0 decision to win the 110-pound bracket.
 
Campbell also shined in her collegiate debut, earning a 3-2 record to place fifth at 110 pounds. She opened with a 10-0 victory over Eastern's Jocelyn Dietz and advanced to the semifinals with an 8-6 decision over Albright's Leyla Araya. After falling to top-seeded Shuler in the semifinals, Campbell went on to win her fifth-place match with a 12-5 decision over Araya.
 
At 103 pounds, Gavares recorded a first-period fall over Eastern's Ava Paul in her opening bout before a 5-4 decision over Alysa Patel advanced her to the semifinals. Next, Gavares tallied a fall over Olivia Polansky at the 1:27 mark but fell 10-0 in the finals against Olivia Mancha to finish second.
 
Charlesworth, a three-time national championship qualifier for the Bears, recorded four victories by fall en route to a 5-1 record and a third-place finish for Ursinus. Charlesworth opened with a fall at the 1:00 mark over Presbyterian's Ava Torres and then pinned Felician's Sarah Walsh in 58 seconds to advance to the quarterfinals. Next, Charlesworth pinned Columbia's Noa Omessi at the 2:56 mark but fell in the semifinals to No. 5 Zoey Haines of Eastern. After receiving a forfeit in the consolation semifinals, Charlesworth pinned Lock Haven's Marissa Rumsey in 49 seconds to claim third.
 
In the 180-pound bracket, Peguero del Rosario pinned Cedar Crest's Katerin Cifuentes-Calmo in 28 seconds during her opening bout. After falling by decision in the quarterfinals, Peguero del Rosario responded with three consecutive falls to reach the consolation championship. In the third-place bout, she defeated Presbyterian's Kascidy Garren by a 5-0 decision to finish third with a 5-1 record.
 
The Bears' final place-winner came at 138 pounds, where Sagi posted a 5-2 record and finished fifth for Ursinus. Sagi opened with a fall at the 2:58 mark over Lock Haven's Laila Colon but fell by fall to eventual champion Zoe Griffith of Presbyterian in her round-of-16 matchup. However, Sagi rallied with three straight victories, including a 10-2 decision over Paige Jackson, a two-time NCWWC national qualifier, to reach the consolation semifinals. After falling by pin to Felician's second-seeded Christina Borgmann, Sagi responded with a fall over Rileigh Romberger to finish fifth.
 
First-year Sarah Sheiner (117) earned her first collegiate victory of the day, recording the Bears' quickest pin in 10 seconds over Lock Haven's Anna Lackey. Fellow first-years Caitlin Castoldi (124) and Emily Sarr (131) also collected their first collegiate victories during the tournament.
