COLBY, Kan. – Desza Munson won the 145-pound bracket at the Colby Dust Bowls Open as six of 12 Chadron State women's wrestlers earned placings at the event hosted by Colby Community College on Saturday.

Munson, a redshirt freshman from Commerce City, Colorado who also earned a dual victory for the Eagles on Thursday, went 3-0 to take down the title and become the first CSC tournament champion this season. 

Munson grew more dominant as the day went on. After a hard-fought 10-6 decision win over Murray State's Adrianna Chronister in the quarterfinal, Munson pinned William Jewell's McKinzie Ross in 3:21 in the semis and only needed 1:07 to pin Fort Hays State's Amanda Jaegar in the championship bout. 

Other CSC placers and their records on the day include Adrianna Lopez (2^nd at 117, 2-1), Ana Rojas Zamora (2^nd at 124, 2-1), Maria Arellano (3^rd at 160, 5-1) and Eliza Davis (6^th at 138, 3-3). 

Among non-placers, Isabella Crown (103 pounds), Nevaeh Leonard (138), Hattie Baldwin (145) and Estrella Vasquez Gutierrez (207) all went 1-2 during Saturday's competition. 

Adrianna Lopez continued her strong start as alongside Munson, CSC's redshirt freshman class has come to play early in 2025-26. After defeating three higher-seeded wrestlers at the Battle of the Rockies and earning a pin in her CSC dual debut Thursday, Lopez placed at a collegiate open for the first time, starting in style with a 23-second pin of Schreiner University's Janel Golderos. 

Another fall followed in the semifinals when Lopez beat Sarah Spataro of Hastings at the 3:51 mark. Lopez fell in the championship to William Jewell's Alexandra Waitsman via a 12-1 tech fall. 

Maria Arellano, a redshirt junior from Fresno, California, won the most matches on the day for Chadron State. After a first-round 44-second pin, Arellano fell in the quarterfinals to eventual second-place finisher Atavia Cain from Colby CC. Undeterred, Arellano dominated the rest of the way to rise up to third, earning another pin plus two tech falls and a forfeit victory. 

True freshman Eliza Davis also had a busy day in the 138-pound bracket. Davis, of Kaysville, Utah, won her first three matches with one pin, one tech fall and one decision to advance to the semifinal, where she dropped a narrow 8-7 decision to Lisa Hoeflich of Hastings. Davis was pinned in both the consolation semi and fifth-place match to finish in sixth among a 19-wrestler bracket. 

Chadron State will head to Minot, North Dakota next weekend to compete in the Minot State duals on Friday followed by the Minot State Open Saturday.
