IRVING, Texas – UNI sophomore Taylor Lujan earns UNI's first Big 12 Wrestler of the Week honors since the Panthers joined the league this season.
Lujan's wins last weekend pushed him up to No. 6 in the nation at 174 pounds in Trackwrestling's rankings. He had two wins in UNI's dual openers. His weekend started with a 5-3 decision over Cornell's then-ranked No. 6 All-American Brandon Womack, who took eighth at the 2017 Division I National Championships.
Lujan's win in the Panthers' home opener was critical to UNI's 21-19 win over North Dakota State.
