SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Appalachian State junior Kyle Blevins has been named Southern Conference Wrestler of the Week for all competitions from January 19-25.

In the Mountaineers' dual with North Carolina on Friday, Blevins scored a key 2-0 victory against the Tar Heels' Thomas Scotton, who entered the match ranked 15^th nationally. The win gave ASU a 12-11 advantage in the match that eventually ended in a 19-19 tie.

With his 2-0 decision, the 17^th-ranked Blevins now has a team-leading 28 wins on the season against seven defeats.
