LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – Fresh off of a 12th-place preseason ranking, the Lock Haven women's wrestling team gets the 2026-27 season started on Sunday when they travel to the Garden State for the Princeton Open.



Azariah Moore, Lindsay Laws and Presley McCandlish are the ranked individuals heading into the new season for fifth-year head coach Matt Lackey.

The Haven closed last season at the NCAA Championships with Moore earning the program's first-ever NCAA All-American after an eighth place finish.

Following a season of firsts last year, the Bald Eagles welcome another first as they join the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) for the 2026-27 season.

Lock Haven returns 20 athletes from last season on a 24-member roster. Moore, Laws and McCandlish give the Bald Eagles ranked wrestlers across the middle and upper weights, while the lineup has depth at several weights.

Four newcomers join the program in Kailyn Brooks, Laila Colon, Lillian Rumsey and Kendall Wagner.

The season opens Sunday, Nov. 1, at the Princeton Open before the Bald Eagles travel to Michigan two weeks later for the Adrian Open on Sunday, Nov. 15.

Lock Haven welcomes Lackawanna for the 2026-27 home opener on Friday, Nov. 20.

December brings the Music City Duals on Friday, Dec. 18, followed by the prestigious Ken Kraft Midlands Championships on Wednesday, Dec. 30 to round out the 2026 portion of a jam-packed schedule.
