The d3wrestle.com Wrestler of the Week is Eric Twohey of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. Twohey won the WIAC Championship this past weekend at 197 lbs., winning in the finals in overtime over #1 ranked returning NCAA runner-up Shane Siefert of Whitewater 4-2. He also recorded a pair of falls in the first two rounds of the tournament. Earlier in the week, Twohey won 5-1 over Matt Hechsel of Augsburg, a 2013 All-American and 2014 national qualifier.

Twohey, a senior from Stewartsville, Minnesota, is currently 24-1 on the year. His lone loss was to Siefert in a dual meet, a loss he avenged this past weekend. He finished 8th at last season’s NCAA Championships at 184 lbs. for his first All-American award. His career record is now 88-25, and he won titles at the Auggie-Adidas Open and the WIAC Championships. His win over Siefert has elevated him to the #1 ranking in today’s d3wrestle.com Individual Rankings. This week, he was also named the WIAC Max Sparger Wrestling Scholar Athlete in recognition of his wrestling accomplishments and 3.96 GPA. Twohey and the rest of the Eagles will next compete at the Midwest Regional at Wabash on Saturday, February 28th.

Volkmann Final Home Match — Kerry Volkmann received a stirring tribute before the start of his final home dual meet

From John Carroll Sports Information

2/10/2015 8:53:00 PM | by Cole Larson, staff writer

Volkmann Sent Out On Best Of Notes As JCU Blanks Muskies In Final Home Dual Meet

Kerry Volkmann probably had a feeling something would happen in his honor during the final home dual meet of his 28-year coaching career. He had coached too long and impacted too many lives for him not to expect some form of tribute.

Still, the sound of bagpipes and the sight of over 200 graduates who could be counted as former wrestlers, coaches, teammates, friends and fans of the program — and the man — had to be overwhelming.

Wrestler of the Week: Donny Longendyke

The d3wrestle.com Wrestler of the Week is Donny Longendyke of Augsburg. Longendyke began his competition last week with a 12-4 major decision win at 285 lbs. over d3wrestle.com #3 ranked Ben Nagle of Wartburg in the annual matchup between the Knights and Auggies. He followed up that win with a championship in the Don Parker Open, notching a pair of falls and a 16-1 tech fall over Conner Herman of Luther, a d3wrestle.com Contender. Longendyke is now 33-2 on the season.

A native of Vadnais Heights, Minnesota, Longendyke is in his first season with the Auggies after transferring in from the University of Nebraska. He was a member of the Huskers for the 2012 and 2013 seasons, putting up a 40-21 record between his redshirt and redshirt freshman seasons. He was a multiple time Junior and Cadet National All-American and was the top ranked 285 lb. recruit in 2011. This season, he has won the Auggie-Adidas Open, Citrus Invitational, Matman Invitational, and Don Parker Open. Longendyke also finished 2nd in the Dragon Open and 3rd in the Husky Open. He was ranked 5th in the d3wrestle.com Rankings, but that will surely change since his win over #3 Nagle came after the release of the rankings. Augsburg next competes against La Crosse on Thursday of this week.
