Cassy LopezLopez, who is just completing her senior year at Mount Hebron High School in Ellicott City, Maryland, will compete in the brand-new women's program at Presbyterian in freestyle as one of 40 programs in the Women's Collegiate Wrestling Association in 2019.
Unlike men's college wrestlers who wrestle folkstyle, college women in the WCWA wrestle freestyle. Why? While men's college wrestling is an official NCAA sport, women's wrestling is not ... but that may be changing, as efforts to make women's wrestling an NCAA sanctioned sport are underway.
Lopez will be wrestling for Mark Cody, who was hired as Director of Wrestling at Presbyterian in December, after having served as head wrestling coach at American University and at University of Oklahoma.
Presbyterian College -- also known as PC -- is a private, four-year, liberal arts school located in Clinton, S.C. between Greenville and Columbia, the state capital. Founded in 1880, Presbyterian has approximately 1,300 students. The school's sports teams compete in NCAA Division I as the Blue Hoses.
