Bennett won all four of his matches last week as the Chippewas went 2-2 in four duals, including a 21-13 win at Northern Illinois in the MAC opener. He posted an 18-2 technical fall against NIU's Caleb Busson on Thursday, then swept his three matches at National Duals on Saturday. Among his three wins at National Duals were two decisions against nationally ranked opponents: No. 10 Luke Manuel (Purdue) and No. 20 Dorian Henderson (Missouri).
Bennett, ranked fifth nationally at 174 pounds, improved to 19-4 overall including 8-1 in duals. He has won nine of his last 10 bouts and has not surrendered an offensive point in his nine victories.
Bennett earns the conference's weekly honor for the second time this season and third time in his career.
CMU, ranked 12th in this week's InterMat poll, hosts No. 18 Michigan on Sunday at 2 p.m. in the first wrestling match at McGuirk Arena.
