    O'Grady named NSIC Wrestler of the Week

    St. Cloud State University sophomore Shamus O'Grady (Coon Rapids) was named as the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference wrestler of the week on Jan. 3. O'Grady earned the award thanks to his 4-0 record at the Grand Canyon Duals on Jan. 1 in Phoenix, Ariz.

    O'Grady helped guide the No. 2-ranked Huskies to a perfect 4-0 record at the Grand Canyon Duals, which included wins over Chadron State, Mesa State, No. 8 Nebraska-Kearney and Kutztown.

    O'Grady was 4-0 on the day, which included two pins, one win by a technical fall and one win by a forfeit. O'Grady now owns a 15-2 record this winter. O'Grady pinned Trent Zempel of Chadron State at 4:55; he then won by tech fall over Zak Slotten of Mesa State 20-3; he followed that up with a pin over Drew Comito of #8 Nebraska-Kearney at 1:49 and then won by forfeit in the dual against Kutztown.

    This marks the third time this season that a St. Cloud State University wrestler has gained NSIC Wrestler of the Week honors.

    The Huskies (7-0) will return to action on Jan. 8-9 with a trip to the NWCA Division II National Duals in Cedar Falls, Iowa. This elite meet will pit the Huskies against the nation's top NCAA Division II teams in a dual tournament format. Teams slated to participate in the 2011 tournament are Augustana, Central Oklahoma, Central Missouri, Findlay, Grand Canyon Univ, Limestone, MSU- Mankato, MSU-Moorhead, Newberry, San Fancisco St, St. Could State, UNC - Pembroke, Nebraska Omaha, UW - Parkside, Upper Iowa and Western State.
