Have a weekend, Mia Marigliano.

Seeded seventh in the 132-pound weight class bracket at the MIAA Girls All-State Wrestling Championships in Methuen, the Franklin Tech senior stood atop the podium by weekend’s end.

Marigliano went 3-0 overall, capturing the All-State championship thanks to a 12-3 major decision over South Shore’s Lindsey Lincolne in the title match on Saturday.

Marigliano scored a takedown for a quick 3-0 lead in the first period and never trailed in the 132 final. She held a 6-3 advantage after two periods and sealed the deal with a reversal and nearfall in the third frame. It was Marigliano’s second win against Lincolne in a week, as she also scored a 5-0 victory in the third place match at the MIAA Division 3 state championship a week earlier.

To get to Saturday’s All-State final, Marigliano avenged her only loss of the previous weekend – this time taking down Rileigh Fagan of Bristol-Plymouth in the semifinals. The two were scoreless in the rematch on Saturday until Marigliano notched a reversal in the third period then followed that up with a pin with 1:13 to go.

Frontier’s Jocelyn Antes won two matches on Saturday to get into the third place match at 120. There, she dropped a 10-2 major decision to Allison Reese of Northbridge, and settled for fourth place in the weight class.

Antes scored a 5-0 decision over Chicopee’s Nevaeh Santiago to open Saturday action, then took down Holliston’s Skyla Rodenhiser via a second-period pinfall.
