CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Wolfpack wrestling's 149 pounder, Koy Buesgens, has been named the ACC Wrestler of the Week, as announced by the conference Tuesday, February 24.

Continuing to shock the league, Koy Buesgens added his fifth ranked win to his resume for the season after defeating Cornell's No. 2 Jaxon Joy on Friday. The 6-3 win in sudden victory for Buesgens marked the first loss for Joy this season (now 21-1).

The Minnesota native now carries four top-10 wins this year heading into the postseason with a 20-2 record, with both of his losses being to top-10 opponents. Buesgens is now ranked No. 8 at 149 lbs in the InterMat individual rankings list this week and looks to qualify for his second NCAA Championship tournament.
