RALEIGH, N.C. – NC State redshirt-sophomore Hayden Hidlay has been named the co-ACC Wrestler of the Week after his top-10 win at Ohio State this past weekend.
Â
Against the Buckeyes at 157 pounds, Hidlay defeated #8 Ke-Shawn Hayes, 7-2. He scored both of the takedowns in the bout, one in the second period and another in the final seconds.
Â
Hidlay's effort against the Buckeyes came after he went 4-0 at the South Beach Duals at Ft. Lauderdale in late Dec., outscoring his foes 61-16 and notching three bonus-point wins. The latter efforts included two wins by technical fall and one by major decision.
Â
Hidlay is ranked #4 nationally at 157 pounds by both InterMat and FloWrestling.
Â
This is Hidlay's second ACC Wrestler of the Week honor this season, as he was named after his first top-10 win of the season in the opening weekend. Hidlay led the ACC last season, being named the top wrestler three times.
Â
Overall, NC State has won five ACC Wrestler of the Week awards (three by Nick Reenan) in the eight weeks of this season.
