MAC Wrestler of the Week
Kyle Koser (Messiah / Sr. / 197 / Dillsburg, Pa.) won the Most Outstanding Wrestler at the Roger Williams Invitational this past weekend, thanks in large part to his title win at 197 lbs. Koser was one of six Falcons to reach the finals, and one of two to win titles to help the Falcons to a second-place team finish (just 1.5 points behind the champion). Koser won four matches, including a momentous pin over Devon Carrillo of Wesleyan in a top-5 battle for the title. Koser who is ranked No. 4 in the NWCA rankings pinned No. 5 Carrillo in 5:33. Koser opened the invitational with back-to-back 16-0 technical falls and then an 8-0 major decision. The four wins also pushed his career total to 112, good for No. 9 in Messiah’s all-time records.
