East Wrestler of the Week
Anthony Noto, Lock Haven, Redshirt-Junior, 125 lbs
Earlier this week, Anthony Noto jumped to No. 1 in the national rankings and the nation’s top-ranked 125-pounder showed why as he dominated in his much-anticipated season-debut. As No. 23 Lock Haven took on No. 13 Arizona State and Army in dual action, Noto recorded back-to-back tech falls. In the match vs. Arizona State, Noto rolled to victory over Max Brewster in just 4:40 (tech fall; 18-3). No. 1 – Noto, took on Army’s nationally-ranked No. 27 Ethan Berginc, but again the Bald Eagle was too much, and Noto won 20-5 (tech fall; 7:00).
