    Moore named ACC Wrestler of the Week

    CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Freshman Jedd Moore (Mount Vernon, Ohio) has been named the ACC Wrestler of the Week following his standout performance Sunday at the Journeymen Sprawl and Brawl Duals in Binghamton, N.Y. The honor is the first career conference wrestler of the week distinction for Moore. It also marks the second straight week a UVa wrestler has earned the honor after Chris Henrich (So., Lansdale, Pa.) nabbed it Nov. 18.

    In just his fourth weekend of college wrestling, Moore upset second-ranked Dan Vallimont of Penn State, 9-4, at 157 pounds. The win was key in keeping the Cavaliers close, as they went down to the final bout before falling to No. 14 PSU, 19-15.

    Moore went on to post a major decision in the Cavaliers' next dual against American International and improved to 12-3 this year. Moore's win over Vallimont marked the highest-ranked opponent a UVa wrestler has defeated in three years under head coach Steve Garland.

    The 24th-ranked Cavaliers head back to New York Saturday to compete in the Northeast Duals in Albany. UVa is slated to wrestle No. 7 Oklahoma State at 11 a.m., Bucknell at 1 p.m. and Harvard at 3 p.m.
