    Maldonado named SoCon Wrestler of the Week

    CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wrestler Javier Maldonado was named Southern Conference Wrestler of the Week for his two victories last week, the SoCon office announced Wednesday.

    Maldonado, a senior from Kissimmee, Fla., accounted for 12 team points in the Mocs' back-to-back wins at VMI and Virginia Tech.

    Maldonado registered pins in each of the dual matches on back-to-back days. Ranked 15th nationally, the 125-pounder remained undefeated in 19 career SoCon matches with a first-period pin of VMI's Jeremy Adams. The following day, Maldonado pinned Virginia Tech's Justin Staylor in the second period.

    His performance led the Mocs to two victories, the fourth and fifth consecutive wins for the squad.

    Chattanooga, 10-5, hosts No. 5-ranked Central Michigan Sunday at 1 p.m. in Maclellan Gym on the UTC campus.
