Word for when you scrunch up your face in frustration

single-word-requests

I am trying to find the word for when you screw up your face in annoyance, frustration/exasperation or worry. The phrase in which I want to use it is as follows:

Ryan ____ his face in frustration. He knew he should have never taken his eyes off of her for even a second and now she was missing.


I would go with either screwed as in:

Ryan screwed his face in frustration

From the Free Dictionary: To contort (one's face).

or with contorted as in:

Ryan contorted his face in frustration

From Google: to twist or bend out of its normal shape
