    Boyle tabbed Big Ten co-Wrestler of the Week

    PARK RIDGE, Ill. -- Sophomore Sean Boyle (Lowell, Mass./Blair Academy) of the University of Michigan wrestling team was named Big Ten Conference co-Wrestler of the Week on Tuesday (Nov. 16) in recognition of his performance in U-M's dual opener against Pittsburgh. The weekly honor is the first for Boyle in his collegiate career and the first for the Wolverines this season. He shares the weekly recognition with Illinois' Kyle Dooley.

    Boyle secured his first collegiate win over a ranked opponent with an 8-5 decision against the Panthers' 14th-ranked Anthony Zanetta at 125 pounds and set up the Wolverines' comeback win by pulling his team within two team points with one match remaining. Boyle controlled the early portion of the bout, converting on single-leg takedowns in the first and second periods, and fought off Zanetta's late rally to seal the victory.

    In response to the win, the Wolverine sophomore made his first appearance in the national rankings, earning the No. 17 spot at 125 pounds in the latest InterMat listing. Boyle is a perfect 5-0 on the season.

    The Wolverines will hit the road next Friday (Nov. 19) to continue non-conference dual competition against Lehigh in Bethlehem, Pa. The dual is slated for a 7 p.m. start at Stabler Hall.
