Belmont Abbey's Siwiec Named South Atlantic Conference Carolinas Men's Wrestler of the Week
HIGH POINT, N.C. – Belmont Abbey College's Mike Siwiec has been named the South Atlantic Conference Carolinas Men's Wrestler of the Week for meets held during the week of Jan. 21-27, the league announced today. This marks both the second POTW for Siwiec and Belmont Abbey.
A junior from Toms River, N.J., Siwiec was the hero in Belmont Abbey's victory over Coker last week with a late fall. With the Crusaders down 25-19, Siwiec would take the mat against Dalton Haywood of Coker and come away with a fall in just 1:49 of action. The win would end the dual tied at 25-all, but Belmont Abbey would win the contest through tiebreaker by way of Siwiec's pin.
