WRESTLER OF THE WEEK: Joseph Bianchi, R-So., LITTLE ROCK (149, Two Rivers, Wis.)

  • Performance was an improvement from last weekend's 4-2 win, thanks to a takedown and tilt in the first period and a tough two-minute ride in the second period.
  • Improves Bianchi's record to 10-4 this season.
  • Little Rock's first Pac-12 Wrestler of the Week recipient.
