    Metzler named SoCon Wrestler of the Week

    SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Fifth-year senior David Metzler pinned two opponents and posted a major decision on his way to a third-place showing in the 141-pound weight class at the All-Academy Championships, held last Saturday at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y. For his efforts, Metzler has been named Southern Conference Wrestler of the Week and VMI Athlete of the Week, it was announced on Wednesday.

    Metzler (Dayton, Va./Turner Ashby) pinned Jon Egan from Norwich in 1:48 and Caleb Levee from Navy in 2:06, while scoring his team-leading fifth major decision of the season with a 16-4 win against James Beshada of Merchant Marine.

    With his three wins, Metzler became VMI's first 20-match winner this season, currently standing at 20-12. He also moved into the top 20 in VMI career wins, now with a 72-53 career mark.

    Metzler is VMI's second SoCon Wrestler of the Week honoree this season, joining freshman Josh Wine, who earned the award in December.

    The VMI wrestling team returns to action on Friday evening, hosting SoCon foe Chattanooga at 7:30 p.m. at The Thunderdome.
