MIAA WRESTLER OF THE WEEK: Trent Munoz, 165 lbs., Nebraska Kearney
Ranked sixth nationally at 165 pounds, Nebraska Kearney’s Trent Munoz went 2-0 last Friday night in Warrensburg as the No. 2-ranked Lopers defeated No. 14 Central Missouri, 23-10, and Ouachita, 49-0. Munoz first upset the Mules’ No.5-ranked Gage Bernall in an 8-4 decision. The graduate student then recorded an 18-2 technical fall (6:14) over Ouachita’s Samuel Schmidt.
