Wisconsin Badgers Wrestling MAN OF THE MAT vs Michigan State

Wisconsin Badgers Wrestling MAN OF THE MAT Award

The intent of this prestigious, almost Hodge-like, award is to highlight a wrestler from the Wisconsin Badgers Wrestling team that had the most outstanding performance from the event.

Fresh off a newly minted No. 32 ranking from the NWCA Coaches Poll – Rivera came out looking to prove those coaches right! After a couple of tough defeats in the recent matches it was refreshing to see him come out and dominate!

After winning his match 10–6 vs Michigan State’s Andy Hampton, Nicolar Rivera is the winner of the MAN OF THE MAT award vs. Michigan State.

133: Rivera wins 10-6 decision!
