LARAMIE, Wyo. -
University of Wyoming Cowboy sophomore 165-pounder Shane Onufer (Auburn, Wash./Auburn HS) has been named the Western Wrestling Conference's Wrestler of the Week as announced today by the league.
After missing a month due to a knee injury, No. 9-ranked Onufer was back in the Cowboy lineup last week at 165 pounds and won both his matches in dominating fashion against North Carolina State and Oregon State.
Against the Wolfpack, Onufer set the tone for an 11-point team comeback win by sticking Ray Ward to the mat at 4:35 in the second period of their match. The win by fall was his fifth this season and 19th of his two-year career. Onufer controlled the match from the start and led 9-2 at the time of his pin, thanks to three takedowns, a two-point nearfall and an escape. Against the No. 24-ranked Beavers, Onufer earned a 12-4 major decision over Dan Brascetta, his fifth decision by eight or more points this season. He now has a 16-4 overall record this season.
The weekly league honor for Onufer is his second this season, the other coming on Dec. 8, and the third of his career.
