LOCK HAVEN, Pa. - Senior Seth Martin (Selinsgrove, Pa./Selinsgrove) has been named Co-Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) Wrestler of the Week for his recent efforts on the mat for the Lock Haven University wrestling team.

Martin enjoyed the holiday season by picking up an individual championship at the Southern Scuffle tournament hosted by the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

The 157-pounder upset No. 6 Matt Hill of Edinboro University in the championship match. Martin topped the tournament´s number one seed 4-1 after cruising into the finals.

The Haven grappler started things off with a 3-1 win over Ohio University´s Jake Frerichs and followed it up by pinning Brad Murri of Boise State University. Martin continued to roll with a 7-0 shutout and a 13-4 major win, setting him up for the championship.

The win over Hill marked a bit of payback for Martin, who was defeated
6-1 by the Edinboro Fighting Scot back on Dec. 10 in dual action.

Martin and the rest of the Bald Eagles will be back on the mat on Jan.
12, at 7:30 when they host Millersville University.
