After compiling a perfect 4-0 record, Augustana's Beau Severtson has been named the North Central Conference Wrestler of the Week, the league office announced today.
Severtson, a senior 184-pounder from Flandreau, S.D., won all 4 matches
last week as the Vikings competed in 4 duals. Two of his victories were
first-period pins. He pinned Dominck Oliver of Minnesota West Community
College in 1:54 and posted a 15-12 decision over Cole Spree of
Northwestern (Iowa) in a triangular. He then upset sixth-ranked Brad
Padgett of St. Cloud State, pinning him at 2:41. He finished the week
with an 8-2 win over Ben Becker of Minnesota State to improve to 2-0 in
NCC matches.
Severtson and the rest of the Vikings return to the mat on Wednesday
when they wrestle Dakota Wesleyan and the University of Sioux Falls at
USF's Stewart Center. Augustana will face Dakota Wesleyan at 6:45 p.m.
and USF at 8 p.m.
