    Schlatter named Big Ten Wrestler of the Week

    True freshman Dustin Schlatter has been named Big Ten Wrestler of the Week after his 11 -2 major decision against defending NCAA Champion Zack Esposito on Sunday. Ranked number one in the country, Schlatter defeated Esposito for the second time this season. His win helped Minnesota secure a 19-16 victory against second-ranked Oklahoma State.

    The National High School Wrestler of the Year out of Massillon, Ohio, Schlatter is 32-1 on the season at 149 pounds. Twenty-two of his 32 wins on the year have resulted in bonus points, including a team-best nine technical falls and nine major decisions. In the past month alone, Schlatter has defeated second-ranked Ty Eustice of Iowa, third-ranked Esposito twice, fifth-ranked Mark DiSalvo of Central Michigan and seventh-ranked Jon Masa of Hofstra.

    Schlatter and the Golden Gophers close out the regular season on Friday at No. 3 Michigan and on Sunday at No. 18 Michigan State. Minnesota (19-0, 6-0) is looking to complete the second unbeaten season in school history.
