    Konrad named Big Ten Wrestler of the Week

    Junior All-American heavyweight Cole Konrad, a native of Freedom, Wis., has been named Big Ten Wrestler of the Week after his 4-1 overtime decision against two-time defending NCAA Champion Steve Mocco of Oklahoma State. It is the first weekly award of Konrad's career.

    On Monday at the NWCA/Marines All-Star Classic, Konrad and Mocco went to overtime tied at one point apiece. Konrad rode Mocco the entire first period. In the second, Mocco was penalized a point for hooking his hands. Konrad then scored a reversal with nine seconds remaining to claim the 4-1 win. Mocco won all three meetings between the two wrestlers a year ago, including an overtime victory in the finals at the NCAA Championship.

    The fifth-ranked Golden Gophers open their dual meet season on Saturday at the Northeast Duals. Minnesota will face Virginia Tech, No. 25 Tennessee-Chattanooga, No. 15 Central Michigan and American.
