Copsey Named NCC Freshman of the Year

March 27, 2008

Augustana wrestler Ty Copsey has been the 2007-08 North Central Conference Freshman of the Year in a vote of the league's head coaches, the NCC office announced today.

Copsey, a 197-pound freshman from Glenwood, Iowa, enjoyed one of the most successful seasons by a Viking freshman. He compiled a 31-7 overall record to go along with a 6-1 dual record, won the North Regional title and earned All-America honors by placing fourth at the NCAA Division II National Championships.

Copsey, whose 31 victories led the team, enjoyed a lot of success during the regular season. He won the Daktronics Open and earned runner-up finishes at the Dakota Wesleyan Open, the UNK Loper Open and the Midwest Classic. He then went 3-0 at the regional meet to win the regional title.
