Ohio State redshirt freshman Sammy Sasso had one of the best weekends of anyone in college wrestling, upending No. 1 Pat Lugo at Iowa, and two nights later avenging an early-season loss to No. 4 Brayton Lee at Minnesota. He was named Wrestler of the Week by both the Big Ten Conference and USA Wrestling after knocking off the pair of top-4 opponents inside their own arenas.
He is Ohio State's second Big Ten Wrestler of the Week this season: Luke Pletcher (141 pounds) split the first weekly honor of the season after defeating then-No.
