Wrestler of the Week
Kyle Massey, Wisconsin
Jr., Hwt., Champlin, Minn. / Champlin Park
No. 4 Massey earns his first career weekly laurel after an impressive win against Northwestern over the weekend. Massey defeated No. 1 and previously undefeated Dustin Fox in a 5-3 decision to seal the dual win for the Badgers in their regular season finale. Wisconsin trailed 19-18 heading into the Massey's heavyweight bout. Massey jumped out to a 2-1 lead in the second period then secured the victory in the third with a two-point takedown and had a point of riding time. The win clinched the dual for the Badgers with a final of 21-19, making it UW's third-straight win to close the season. The Champlin, Minn. native ends the regular season with a 24-5 record.
