Early Season Starts: Utica opened its 2025-26 campaign with back-to-back tournament appearances. The Pioneers were led at the Ithaca Invite by third-place finishers Jackie Mace (Montour Falls, NY/Odessa-Montour) and Hannah Kusmierczak (Rome, NY/Holland Patent), who combined for three wins and two pins to open the year. Utica followed with a tough test at the Wilkes Women's Open, where six Pioneers competed against a 33-team field. Kusmierczak added her second tournament win of the season with a technical fall at 145, while Dakoda House (Oneonta, NY/Cherry Valley Springfield) earned a fall in an all-Utica matchup at 124.

Up Next: The team returns to action two weekends from now on Sunday, December 7th. Utica will travel to Allentown, Pennsylvania, to compete in the Muhlenberg College Novice Tournament. Competition is set to begin at 10:00 am at the John Deitrich Field House.
