Fr. posted two top-15 wins in recent duals
RALEIGH, N.C. – NC State 157-pound redshirt freshman Ed Scott and Duke 149-pound senior Josh Finesilver have been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Co-Wrestlers of the Week.
Â
Scott defeated a pair of top-15 opponents while posting a 3-0 record at the Collegiate Wrestling Duals back in late December.
Â
Scott's run at the Collegiate Duals included a technical fall versus Binghamton's Tyler Martin, a 3-2 decision over Missouri's 15th-ranked Jarret Jacques and a first-period pin (1:10) of Iowa's eighth-ranked Kaleb Young.
Â
In addition to earning a No. 11 weight-class ranking by Intermat and a No. 15 ranking from FloWrestling, Scott helped the No. 5 Wolfpack to a 35-7 rout of Binghamton, a 19-12 win over No. 10 Missouri, and a near-upset of top-ranked Iowa. NC State battled the Hawkeyes to the wire before coming out on the short end of a 19-15 decision.
Â
On the season, Scott is a perfect 13-0 (his lone loss to a teammate does not count towards his record, nor does wins against teammates). Of those 13 wins, 11 have gone for bonus points, and Scott has outscored his foes 151-40 with four pins thus far.
