February 21, 2006
For the second time this season, Augustana's Cody Henriksen was named the North Central Conference Wrestler of the Week.
Henrikson, a junior 165-pounder from Arlington, S.D., shared the award with Les Sigman of Nebraska-Omaha.
Henriksen, who is currently unranked in the national rankings, scored a takedown with five seconds left in regulation to edge #5-ranked Ross Taplin of Nebraska-Omaha 5-3. Henriksen trailed 3-2 heading into the third period but scored an escape early in the third to tie the score 3-3 before getting the last-second takedown.
UNO won the dual 23-17.
Augustana, ranked sixth in the nation, will take part in the North Regional Championships on Sunday in Omaha, Neb. The top four placers in each weight class advance to the NCAA Division II National Championships. Augustana is the defending regional champions.
