Ben Stahlman is the GLVC Wrestler of the Week
SPRINGFIELD, Mo.– Drury University wrestler
Ben Stahlman was named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Wrestler of the Week for his dominating performance in the Drury Open last weekend.
Stahlman won twice by Fall, won two Major Decisions, and did not allow a point to any of his opponents as part of his 4-0 day en route to winning the 157-pound division in Saturday's event. The junior from House Springs, Missouri, won his opening round match with a pin of his opponent in just 20 seconds. He then earned a 9-0 Major Decision in the quarterfinals against Scott Radke of Northeastern Oklahoma and won by Fall in 1:26 over Dallas Boone of Neosho County in the semis. Stahlman took the 157-pound division tournament championship with a 10-0 Major Decision against Anthony Michaels of Lindenwood.
Stahlman and his teammates are slated to compete again this weekend at the Midwest Open, hosted by the University of Indianapolis. Regarded as one of the top tournaments in the nation during the regular season, the Midwest Open begins on Saturday and concludes on Sunday in Indianapolis, Indiana.
