BUFFALO – Brett Perry of the University at Buffalo wrestling team was named the Mid-American Conference Wrestler of the Week on Wednesday after posting an upset win in UB’s victory over Binghamton.
Perry upset 15th-ranked Steve Schneider in the 184 lb. match to help lead the Bulls to a 31-9 win over Binghamton on Friday night. Perry trailed 4-3 going into third period, before earning two third-period takedowns to win the match, 7-6. It was the biggest win of his career and his first ever over a ranked opponent.
Perry improved to 16-13 overall and 9-8 in duals on the season. The redshirt-sophomore finished the regular season by winning seven of his last 10 duals.
