EAST LANSING, Mich. - Junior Tony Greathouse has earned Big Ten Wrestler of the Week accolades for his thrilling, come-from-behind upset victory against No. 8 Kevin Ward at the Spartans' dual meet with Oklahoma State Sunday, Nov. 27.
The Mason, Mich., native trailed Ward in their 157-pound match 3-0 after two periods, but rallied back in the third, scoring two takedowns and two near-fall points in the final minute to claim the 6-4 decision.
Greathouse is the second Spartan to earn the honor this season. Nick Simmons earned the honor on Nov. 9 for his performance at the Eastern Michigan Open.
The win improved Greathouse's record to 5-2 on the season. He and the rest of the Spartan wrestling team continue their schedule this Sunday, Dec. 4, at the Nittany Lion Open at Penn State. Wrestling begins at 9 a.m. and continues all day.
