Kent State sophomore Andrew McNally (Uniontown, Ohio) was named Mid-American Conference Wrestler of the Week Wednesday. Â The 184-pound transfer from Eastern Michigan went 8-0 with seven bonus-point victories in his first weekend of competition.
On Friday, McNally went 3-0 at the Kent State Duals with a 16-0 tech fall, an 18-6 major decision and a pin in 33 seconds. The next day, McNally won a 184-pound title at the Clarion Open. He went 5-0 on Saturday with pins in his first three bouts against opponents from Cleveland State, Gardner Webb and Pitt.
Along with four pins in two days, McNally recorded his second major decision in two days, topping Clarion's Tyler Bagoly in the semifinals 13-5.
After a solid redshirt freshman season at 174, McNally worked hard in the weight room in the offseason for his new role at 184.
Kent State returns to action Friday in the Frenzy at the Field House, hosting CSU-Bakersfield, Wisconsin and Iowa.
