———-

FIRST PLACE


(1) Sila Fotu (Far) vs. Tangiteina Niutupuivaha (Kah)
— Niutupuivaha, D 6-2

Niutupuivaha: “When I first went to the match I knew she beat me multiple times so I knew I had to give it my all. It’s last the last match of the season — all or nothing. After she beat me at Officials and Eastern’s, I started to doubt myself thinking I couldn’t make it anymore. The faith that my teammates, my family and my coaches had in me — they really pushed me to my limits.”

Notes: Fotu has dominated the matchup all year but is banged up coming in. Niutupuivaha with control and almost pins Fotu, taking a commanding 5-0 lead after one as Fotu has the trainers come out once already … Fotu comes back with a takedown just inside the circle to start the second period … Niutupuivaha with the late escape and leads 6-2 with 13 seconds in the second period and again the trainers are out to look at Fotu … Niutupuivaha rides it out and defends her title, beating the 2017 champion.
