    Carter named ACC Wrestler of the Week

    GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Virginia Tech 133-pound true freshman Devin Carter has been named the first Atlantic Coast Conference Wrestler of the Week of the 2010-11 season after winning the first six matches of his collegiate career, including a major decision over the nation’! s No. 8-ranked wrestler in his weight class.

    Carter, a native of Christiansburg, Va., opened with a 15-0 technical fall over Iowa State’s Ben Cash in the Hokies narrow 17-16 loss to No. 25 Iowa State in last Friday’s dual meet. Carter then claimed the 133-pound title in Sunday’s Hokie Open at Salem, Va., with an impressive sweep of his five matches. Carter’s victories included wins over ACC opponents Pat Owens (10-5) and Mike Rappo of North Carolina (injury default), and a pin of Old Dominion’s Justin LaValle in 2:32.

    Carter capped his tournament showing with a dominating major decision over Old Dominion’s eighth-ranked Kyle Hutter in the title match.
