    Lang named Big Ten Wrestler of the Week

    EVANSTON, Ill. -- Sophomore Ryan Lang (North Royalton, Ohio/Lakewood St. Edward) has been named Big Ten Wrestler of the Week, the conference announced Wednesday. Lang earned the honor, the first of his career, after winning the 141-pound title at the Michigan State Open last weekend.

    Lang, an NCAA Tournament qualifier last season, started his season on the right note, pinning Eastern Michigan's Bill Amundsen in 3:54.

    After recording a fall in his second-round match as well, Lang faced Findlay's Von Graham in the semifinal match. Lang took the match easily, recording a technical fall when he took a 20-5 lead.

    Lang's most impressive win of the weekend came in a tight title bout. Lang topped Michigan State's fifth-ranked Andy Simmons, 6-5, to claim the 141-pound crown.

    For his accomplishments on the weekend, Lang was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Wrestler.
