WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – With three first-period pins to help the Lycoming College wrestling team post a trio of dual-meet wins during a Lamade Gym quad-meet, junior 141-pounder Wiley Kahler (Pottstown, Pa./Nativity BVM) has earned his first career MAC Wrestler of the Week award, the conference office in Annville, Pa., announced on Monday, Dec. 12.
 
Kahler stuck Keystone's Michael Palinkas in 2:57, Oswego's Brett Rosenberg in 1:23 and Pitt-Bradford's Darren Christian Jr. in 2:02. He posted four takedowns, two four-point near-falls and allowed just an escape in the three matches before getting the pins.
 
The junior improved to 15-3 on the season with five pins this year. He is 45-12 with nine pins in his career and he is 14-1 in his career in dual meets.
 
Kahler is the second straight Warrior to earn the MAC Wrestler of the Week award, as senior Hunter O'Connor (Jersey Shore, Pa./Jersey Shore Area) took the award on Dec. 5, after winning the 157-pound weight class at the Ohio Northern Invitational.
 
The Warriors are taking on final exams before hosting the Rennie Rodarmel Allstate Duals on Monday, Dec. 19, as they will face SUNY Cortland at 1:30 p.m. and Centenary (N.J.) at 3 p.m.
