By Mike DeVader, Reinhardt Director of Athletic Communications & Media

ASHEVILLE, N.C. – Michael Carew, the third-ranked wrestler at 174 pounds in the NAIA, has been named the Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) Wrestler of the Week, the league office revealed on Monday afternoon.

The Gainesville, Ga., native earned a pair of wins – which included a forfeit from Allen (S.C.) – but the highlight of the day on Sunday came against Truett-McConnell (Ga.) as he earned a pin in just 10 seconds.

Overall, the No. 2 Eagles took home triumphs of 60-0 and 54-4 to improve to 17-2 and 5-0 in the AAC, claiming another AAC regular-season title on Senior Day in the process.
