Northern Sun Recognizes Marshall Native

Marshall, MN: Southwest State sophomore Josh Soupir was named as this week's Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Player of the Week.

A 133-pound native of Marshall, Soupir defeated two wrestlers on nationally ranked teams in the past week. He pinned South Dakota State's Nathan Wallman in 6:38 in SSU's 19-28 loss to the Jackrabbits on Wednesday. He posted SSU's only win with a pin in 2:52 over Nebraska-Omaha's Eli Dominguez in Southwest's 41-6 loss to the Mavericks. Soupir was one of two Mustangs named All-NSIC in last week's individual tournament by taking second place.
