LHU’s Tucker Hogan named MAC East Wrestler of the Week

CLEVELAND – Tucker Hogan of the Lock Haven men’s wrestling team has been named the Mid-American Conference (MAC) Eastern Division Athlete of the Week.

The Bald Eagles soared to the team title at Sunday’s (Nov. 24) Keystone Classic after besting nationally-ranked Virginia Tech and defending MAC Champion – Central Michigan, thanks in large part to the efforts of Hogan, a true-freshman.

Hogan was a perfect 3-0, dominating his way to the 197-pound championship with two tech falls and a major decision. Hogan opened the tournament with a tech fall win over Harvard’s Mason Pellegri. Hogan needed just 1:12 to drop Pellegri, 15-0. Hogan majored MAC foe Luke Cochran of Central Michigan in the semifinals, 15-4. In the finals, Hogan rolled by Drexel’s Dan Rella, 16-1 in just 5:16 (tech fall).

For Lock Haven, this is the third total MAC East Wrestler of the Week award, to date – this season.
