Klinsky’s Top 10 Victory Earns Him Second MAC Weekly Honor

CLEVELAND, OH – For the second time this season, Tyler Klinsky has been named the MAC Co-East Division Wrestler of the Week, giving the Broncs three of the first four weekly conference honors.

The recognition follows Klinsky's statement performance in Rider's road dual at No. 18 West Virginia. Wrestling at 125 lbs, the No. 20/21 Klinsky set the tone early against No. 9 Jett Strickenberger. After falling behind 6–2 in the opening period, he completely flipped the match in the second. Klinsky escaped, quickly scored a takedown to tie it, then added a go-behind to take a 9–6 lead before forcing a stalling point for a 10–8 advantage.

He continued to pour on the pressure in the third, hitting a clean single for a 13–9 edge and tacking on another go-behind plus a stalling point to secure a dominant 20–11 major decision. His victory gave Rider a 4–0 team lead and marked his third ranked win of the season and second against a top-15 opponent.

With the win, Klinsky climbed in the FloWrestling rankings to No. 15, the highest-ranked Bronc so far this season.
 

The Broncs return to the mat Dec. 5–6, heading to Las Vegas for the prestigious Cliff Keen Invitational.
