    Frey earns weekly honors

    ITHACA, N.Y. -- Big Red wrestling's Adam Frey (Pittsburgh, Pa.) was named TheMat.com Wrestler of the Week for Dec. 26-Jan. 1 for his performance at the Southern Scuffle. Competing in his first collegiate tournament, Frey went 5-0 to take the title at 133 pounds and helped the Big Red to take a third place team finish. Frey has also been named the Tompkin's Trust Company's Athlete of the Week.

    Frey entered the Scuffle as the No. 8 seed and proceeded to take down the No. 1 seed, nationally ranked Matt Keller of Tennessee-Chattanooga, 10-9 in the quarterfinals. In the semifinals he overtook the No. 4 seed, the Navy's Joe Baker, 10-9, and to take the championship he won a 4-2 decision over the No. 2 seed Evan Sola (North Carolina). Frey entered the Scuffle unranked, and he is now ranked ninth nationally by W.I.N. Magazine.

    Following his prep career at Blair Academy, Frey was the nations top recruit at 130 pounds. He was the member of four national championship teams and was an individual national champion as a senior. He was a two-time prep champion and a five-time freestyle and Greco-Roman All-American.

    Frey will make his dual match debut this weekend at home when the Big Red will take on No. 11 Penn State. The match will take place at 1 p.m. in Newman Arena at Bartels Hall.
