Junior Rocky Jordan is the Southern Conference Wrestler of the Week the league office announced Wednesday afternoon. Jordan earns the award winning his lone match of the week.
Ranked 16th nationally going into the Iowa match, he matched up with No. 14 Nelson Brands. The two went toe-to-toe only allowing a single escape point apiece. Then with 48 seconds remaining, Jordan put his stamp on the match.
Brands battled to escape, reverse, etc., but Jordan would have none of it riding him out for the three points. The win closed the team score to 13-12 in favor of the second-ranked Hawkeyes, but the Mocs could not get the wins necessary over the final three weights to earn the victory.
Jordan is now 6-1 on the year sharing the team's wins lead with 133 Brayden Palmer (6-2) and 141 Dayne Dalrymple (6-5). The Mocs are back in action Friday at Gardner-Webb facing SIUE and Clarion.
