Wrestler of the Week
Jeff Marsh, Michigan
Sr., 157, Dexter, Mich. / Dexter

Marsh won the biggest match of his career on Feb. 1 when he defeated top-ranked Mike Poeta of Illinois in a 9-6 decision at 157.  Marsh's win handed Poeta his first loss of the season.  His triumph helped propel No. 6 Michigan to a comeback dual win over the No. 15 Illini, 22-16.  With the teams even at five matches apiece, Marsh's victory swung the dual to the Wolverines' favor and put them in the driver's seat.  The fifth-year senior now has a career-high 19 wins this season.  This is Marsh's first career weekly honor.
