EASTERN WRESTLING LEAGUE WRESTLER OF THE WEEK

  The Eastern Wrestling League Wrestler of the Week for the week ended November 30, 2008, is Matt Moley.  Moley, a junior at Bloomsburg University, is nationally ranked at 157 pounds, and is from Phoenixville, Pennsylvania.  Moley is a two-time NCAA qualifier, who placed 8th in the 2008 NCAA Tournament.

  On Saturday, November 29, 2008, the Bloomsburg Huskies competed in the Journeymen/Brute Northeast Duals in upstate New York.  The Huskies went 1-2 (beating UNCG, but losing to ODU and Iowa), but Mr. Moley soldiered through the long day undefeated.  In his first match Moley majored Andrew Saunders of UNCG 9-0 and in the second bout bested Kaylen Baxter of ODU by a score of 6-0.  In his final match of the event Moley downed Iowa's Matt Ballweg 5-1.  Both Baxter and Ballweg currently are nationally ranked by WrestlingReport.com, Baxter at 29th in the nation and Ballweg at 31st.

  Good job Matt Moley, our EWL Wrestler of the Week!
