    EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Junior All-American Nick Simmons was named Co-Big Ten Wrestler of the Week for his 125-pound championship performance at the Eastern Michigan Open Nov. 5. He shares the honor with Purdue's Ben Wissel, who claimed the 184-pound title at the EMU Open.

    Simmons dominated his first three matches of the tournament, recording falls against wrestlers from Edinboro and Michigan in less than a minute, before pinning Central Michigan's Josh Williams at 3:14 of their quarterfinal match up. Simmons capped off his 5-0 weekend record by earning a pair of 3-0 decisions in the semifinals against Ricky Deubel of Edinboro, and in the finals against his teammate, freshman Franklin Gomez.

    Simmons last earned Big Ten Wrestler of the Week honors for his performance at the 2004 EMU Open, where he was named Outstanding Wrestler

    Simmons and the rest of the Spartan wrestling team return to action this weekend, Nov. 12-13, when they host the Michigan State Open at Jenison Field House. Wrestling begins at 10 a.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. on Sunday.
