Tournament Overview

This is the second sanctioned NAIA women's freestyle championship following three seasons of an invitational format. Southern Oregon won last year's tournament with three champions and 160 team points. Life, Menlo, Providence, Southern Oregon, and Texas Wesleyan qualified 12 wrestlers and will be in contention. 

Menlo enters as the favorite after winning the Cascade Collegiate Conference Championships, which includes title contenders Southern Oregon and Providence. Life has won two of the last three National Duals titles and finished second at the national tournament in 2021 and 2023. 

Campbellsville, Grand View, Missouri Baptist, Oklahoma City, Texas Wesleyan, and William Penn have solid teams but will need to wrestle above their seeds to win a team title.

Scoring Overview

Each team can qualify up to 12 wrestlers and all 12 can score team points.

Bonus points cannot be scored if two wrestlers from the same team face each other. This prevents a coach from fixing matches to get additional team points. Below is a breakdown of how tournament scoring works.

Reminder: women's college wrestling uses freestyle rules so there are no major decisions.

Championship advancement: 1
Consolation advancement: 0.5
Technical superiority: 1.5
