Presbyterian College Women’s Wrestling Announces 2025-26 Schedule
CLINTON, S.C. – Perennial national-championship contenders, the preseason 5th-ranked Presbyterian College women’s wrestling team has detailed their schedule for the upcoming 2025-26 season. Reigning Southeast Region Coach of the Year Brian Vutianitis will lead his troops to the season-opening event on Saturday, November 1, a triple threat of duals against Allen, Newberry, and Huntingdon in Simpsonville. Last spring, the Blue Hose finished sixth in the nation (the program’s third top-ten placement in a row). Fourteen PC wrestlers qualified for Nationals as they captured the team title at Regionals.
Expectations are very large for Presbyterian this winter, a team that will feature prominently in the first season that women’s wrestling will be an official NCAA sport.
Seven of Vutianitis’ grapplers are ranked in the individual top ten of … more at … https://gobluehose.com/news/2025/10/20/womens-wrestling-womens-wrestling-announces-2025-26-schedule.aspx
History Was Made at the 2025 Super 32
As someone who enjoys the historical aspect of our sport, it was a must to be in Greensboro, North Carolina over the weekend for the latest edition of the Super 32. For a tournament that dates back to the 1990’s and has featured countless NCAA All-Americans, national champions, and even Olympic medalists, the Super 32 never had a wrestler win four championships at the high school level. Now there are two. Bo Bassett and Taina Fernandez both dominated their way through Super 32 brackets over the weekend and won their fourth championship belt. In her five bouts, Fernandez only was pushed past the two-minute mark on one occasion. She only allowed a single point while scoring 40 of her own.
Bassett made the finals after six straight tech falls. In the championship match, he defeated Penn commit, Charlie DeSena, via a 13-4 major decision. Two of Bassett’s titles have come over wrestlers that either already earned, or would go on to win, Super 32 titles themselves.
The tournament organizers were prepared in the event that Bassett and Fernandez would win their fourth titles and hand personalized statues made of the two competitors. While each was wrestling in the finals, the tournament stopped so that fans could direct the fullest extent of their attention to these young stars and their attempt at chasing history.
The girls portion of this tournament has only been in existence since 2017, so there isn’t as much history associated with that competition. But for Bassett to be the four-time, in today’s wrestling landscape is quite remarkable. The quality of wrestling and the readiness of young wrestlers is at a much higher level today compared to the early 2000’s.
This should be a high school season full of such milestones for Bassett. He is also on pace to win his fourth title at the Ironman and Powerade. … more at … https://intermatwrestle.com/articles.html/high-school/history-was-made-at-the-2025-super-32-r100583/
Bo Bassett Makes Super 32 History — But He Wasn’t the Only Four-Time Champ Crowned in Greensboro
Pennsylvania’s Bo Bassett became the first-ever four-time boys’ champion at the Super 32 Tournament, joining Maryland’s Taina Fernandez, who achieved the same milestone just minutes earlier. Several other stars, including Melvin Miller, Rocklin Zinkin and the Mills brothers, also left Greensboro with gold belts.
As the competition was whittled down on Saturday at the Super 32 Tournament in Greensboro, North Carolina, it led to the anticipation of Sunday’s stage being set for No. 1 Bo Bassett (Bishop McCort, Pennsylvania) to become the first ever four-time champ in the boy’s division.
History made twice at Super 32
We need to designate boys’ division specifically now because, in running order, shortly before Bassett’s bout came Maryland’s Taina Fernandez’s 138-pound final on the lady’s front. Fernandez’s 10-0 technical fall of Arizona’s No. 2 Morgan Lucio (Valiant Prep) made Fernandez the first ever four-time champ, with Bassett joining the club not long after her. Fernadez, a junior at Archbishop Spalding in Maryland, won a Super 32 Belt when she was an eighth grader. More coverage of her escapades can be found in our girls Super 32 article.
Bassett’s four all came as a high schooler with the senior pocketing the 113-pound title as a freshman, then taking the 132-pound belt as a sophomore, 144 last year, and now, 150 pounds. A year ago, Bassett endured his closest Super 32 final winning an overtime battle with California’s Daniel Zepeda, 10-7. Zepeda was the last high school wrestler to defeat Bassett (Who’s No. 1 of 2023).
Bassett dominates again to secure No. 4
The 2025 crown wasn’t as difficult as last year’s to claim but Florida’s No. 5 Charlie DeSena (Lake Highland Prep) … more at … https://www.si.com/high-school/wrestling/bo-bassett-makes-super-32-history-but-he-wasn-t-the-only-four-time-champ-crowned-in-greensboro-01k80wazacf1

Dudley Rounds Out Coaching Staff, Adds Patacsil and Gutierrez
BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell wrestling head coach TJ Dudley has announced the addition of Jake Patacsil and Fabian Gutierrez as assistant coaches. “I’m excited to officially welcome two outstanding individuals to our program,” Dudley said. “Both are ready to work and fully committed to helping us build a culture defined by toughness, pride and a relentless pursuit of success.”
Patacsil returns to the Campbell coaching staff, bringing extensive coaching experience after serving at multiple levels of college wrestling. Patacsil was part of the Campbell program last season that captured a share of the 2024-25 Southern Conference regular season championship.
Previously, Patacsil was the inaugural head coach at St. Thomas University (Fla.), where he launched the NAIA program in 2020. In the 2022-23 season, Patacsil guided David Pierson to NAIA All-America status in just the program’s third year of existence. Pierson defeated the No. 3-ranked wrestler to secure a top-eight finish at 141 pounds.
Before St. Thomas, Patacsil began the wrestling program at Mount Olive (N.C.) in 2018, where two wrestlers qualified for the NCAA Division II Championships before the event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Patacsil also spent four seasons as an assistant at Hofstra University, helping produce two two-time NCAA qualifiers and an All-American. In addition, Patacsil has held assistant roles at Duke, Notre Dame College, Central College, Manchester University and St. Thomas Aquinas.
In total, Patacsil has coached two NCAA Division I All-Americans, seven Division II All-Americans and one NAIA All-American. “Jake has already proven to be a valuable part of our program, and we’re thrilled to have him back in an official capacity,” Dudley said. “His experience, … more at … https://gocamels.com/news/2025/10/10/wrestling-dudley-rounds-out-coaching-staff-adds-patacsil-and-gutierrez.aspx
