The York University Lions women's wrestling team finished in fifth place at the OUA championships hosted by McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont., on Saturday, led by a bronze-medal result by Maddy Delle Donne.
 
Delle Donne (Mississauga, Ont.), competing in the 82kg weight class, who her first medal at the conference championships after finishing in fifth place last year.
 
The team also had three other wrestlers in bronze-medal bouts with a chance to qualify for the U SPORTS championships on the line, but all three finished in fourth place. Gurleen Tak (Brampton, Ont.) was competing in the 48kg weight class, Danica Pedrick (Wilcox, Sask.) in the 55kg weight class and Petra Woods (Brampton, Ont.) in the 67kg division.
 
Woods did not leave the meet empty-handed, however, as she was the recipient of the OUA women's wrestling community service award. The honour represents the fourth straight year a York wrestler has earned the award as she joins Alexandria Town (2016) and two-time recipient Urshian Khalid (2014 and 2015).
 
In the men's competition, the Lions finished in sixth place and had two wrestlers in bronze-medal matches. Gurnek Tak (Brampton, Ont.) and Jasman Gill (Brampton, Ont.) both finished in fourth place in the 57kg and 72kg weight classes, respectively.

The powerhouse Brock Badgers successfully defended their OUA titles in both the men's and women's events, and in convincing fashion. They won the women's banner by 31 points and the men's by 23 points.
