GREENSBORO, N.C. - Virginia Tech wrestling's Brent Moore has been named ACC Co-Wrestler of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday.
Moore pinned eighth-ranked Sammy Sasso in 1:16 to help then-No. 11 Virginia Tech upset No. 3 Ohio State 21-15 Sunday afternoon. It was the fastest pin of Moore's career, and he was the only Hokie to pick up bonus points in the dual.
Ohio State led 4-3 when Moore took the mat, but his six points gave the Hokies a 9-4 lead and they never looked back en route to the upset. It was a picture-perfect ending for the St. Paris, Ohio native's homecoming.
This marks the second time a Virginia Tech wrestler has been named wrestler of the week in the first three weeks of the season. B.C. LaPrade was honored after the first week.
No. 4 Virginia Tech returns to action this weekend at the Navy Classic in Annapolis on Saturday. The tournament will start at 10 a.m. with live stats on FloArena.
