Bucknell's Darren Miller named EIWA Wrestler of the Week

"Wrestler of the Week," Darren Miller, 141lbs., Bucknell 

Bucknell wrestler, No. 28 Darren Miller, scored an upset win over No. 10 Carter Young in Saturday's dual meet action vs. Oklahoma State. Young was runner-up in the recent U23 USA World Team trials and is a highly regarded wrestler for the 2022-23 NCAA wrestling season.

Miller lost to Young 8-3 in a dual in Stillwater last season, but this time he came out as the aggressor and earned a takedown just 15 seconds into the bout. Miller rode Young for the rest of the period to pile up a big riding-time advantage and then escaped to start the second period. Young scored a takedown with 32 seconds remaining to make it 3-2, but Miller just needed to avoid getting turned to secure the win. An additional point for riding-time gave him the 4-2 victory!
