Monroeville’s Logan Stieber was named Big Ten Wrestler of the Week for the first time in his career. A redshirt-freshman, Stieber went 4-0 at the Eastern Michigan Open en route to the 133-pound title.

Stieber, the fourth-ranked wrestler in the nation, scored bonus points in each of his matches, including a pair of pins in a total time of 2:43. Additionally, he posted a 15-2 major decision against Purdue’s Cashe Quiroga in the final. The Eastern Michigan Open served as Stieber’s first collegiate match since injuring his hand a season ago.

This past summer, Stieber was the runner-up (60kg, 132 pounds) at the 2011 FILA Junior World Championships in Bucharest, Romania.
