Full Release

The North Central College wrestling team has produced back-to-back College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin Wrestler of the Week award winners after freshman Andrew Rodawold earned the honor on Wednesday after the previous award went to teammate Nathan Segal. 

Last week, the 141-pound Rodawold (14-9) went a perfect 4-0 at the Chuck Porter Duals hosted by Knox College.  The freshman picked up a 7-3 decision over Esai Ponce of Knox College and followed it with a dominating 6-1 decision over Pat Parham of Wabash College.  Rodawold added a forfeit win against Hannibal-LaGrange College and ended the day with a 6-0 shutout over Luther College's Dakota Gray. 

As a team, the Cardinals (4-5, 0-1) went 2-2 with victories over Knox and Hannibal-LaGrange and losses to No. 10 Wabash and No. 12 Luther.

North Central gets back on the mat on Saturday when they head across the border to Indiana for the Manchester University Spartan Mat Classic beginning at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.
