Redshirt Jake Herbert earned Big Ten Wrestler of the Week honors following his first-place finish at the 42nd Midlands Championships. <\/p>\n
He captured the title at 174 lbs. last week by defeating No. 5 seed Mitch Hancock of Central Michigan, 11-6. The championship victory is the first by an NU undergraduate since Andre Allen won the 142-lb. title in 1974. <\/p>\n
The victory over Hancock was the third-consecutive upset for the seventh-seeded Herbert. He dropped No. 2 Pete Friedl of Illinois in the quarterfinal, 5-2, before defeating No. 6 Nick Passolano of Iowa State in the semifinals by the same score. Herbert’s 4-0 performance at the Midlands improved his overall season record to a flawless 7-0. <\/p>\n
This is Herbert’s first career Wrestler of the Week selection. <\/p>\n
Herbert and the Wildcats are next in action this Saturday, Jan. 8 at Ohio State’s Buckeye Duals. <\/p>\n
