Harrogate, TN – Calista Gibson delivered a statement performance in Lincoln Memorial University Women's Wrestling's final home match of the 2025–26 season, earning Juice Spot Railsplitter of the Week honors after powering LMU to an 18–16 conference victory over Bluefield State.

Gibson's dominance in the 131-pound weight class proved to be the turning point of the dual. After countering her opponent's early offense, Gibson turned the momentum decisively in her favor, converting the exchange into a takedown before securing a fall at the 1:31 mark. Her pin pushed the match score to 10–5 and provided a crucial spark that carried the Railsplitters through the remainder of the contest.

The win marked Lincoln Memorial's third of the season, improving the Railsplitters to 3–5 overall and 1–1 in conference action. With the victory, LMU set a new program record for wins in a single season, surpassing the previous mark established during the 2023–24 campaign.

Gibson's clutch performance in front of the home crowd highlighted both her technical skill and competitive poise, as she stepped up in a critical moment to help secure a significant win for the women's wrestling program. For her impact on the mat and her role in LMU's record-setting season, Calista Gibson was named the Juice Spot Railsplitter of the Week.
