Roberts named PAC Wrestler of the Week
Sophomore 174-pounder dominated pair of opponents this past week
WEXFORD, Pa. (Jan. 25) – For the second-straight week, a Waynesburg University wrestler was named the top performer in the Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC).
Sophomore Jared Roberts was named PAC Wrestler of the Week after dominating a pair of opponents during an impressive two-match stretch for the Yellow Jackets. In a conference contest at Washington & Jefferson, Roberts dispatched Eric Kohr by 15-2 major decision as the visitors rolled to a 35-9 win on Friday. The Washington native looked even more impressive the following night by pinning Stephen Terwillinger of Penn State-Dubois in just 53 seconds during a 38-6 Jacket victory.
Roberts is the fourth different Yellow Jacket to be named PAC Wrestler of the Week. Waynesburg has taken home the award a total of six times during the nine weeks that the honor has been given out. For a look at the latest PAC wrestling release, click here.
