    LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ -- Senior Jon Masa of Hofstra University is the Colonial Athletic Association Wrestler of the Week, and Steven Tisdell of George Mason University and Doug Umbehauer of Rider University have been named the CAA Rookies of the Week, for all competition the first week of March.

    Masa (Long Beach, NY), a two-time All-American, won his fourth CAA title and was named the CAA Championship Most Outstanding Performer. At the CAAs, Masa won by a major decision, a tech fall in the semi-finals and with a pin in the finals of the 149 pound weight class. Now 30-5, Masa will lead 23 CAA wrestlers to Oklahoma City, OK for the 2006 NCAA Division I Nationals March 16-18.

    Tisdell, a freshman 165 from Sewell, NJ, placed runner-up at the CAAs and will now compete in the NCAA Championships. Tisdell won a major decision in the quarter-finals, and upset the number two seed in the semi-finals, before losing to the top seed in the finals by the score of 3-2.

    Umbehauer, a freshman 174 from Shamong, NJ, finished runner-up in his first CAA tournament and will now advance to Nationals. After a first round bye Umbehauer defeated the sixth seed in the quarter-finals and upset the second seed in the semi-finals, 6-5 on a tie breaker, before falling 7-3 to the fifth ranked wrestler in the nation in the finals.
