Upper Iowa wrestling senior Eric Faught was tabbed as the GLVC Wrestler of the Week. Faught went 2-0 at the GLVC championships, winning both matches by technical fall. In addition to recording the "most tech falls in least amount of time", he scored the "most total match points" (45) amongst all competitors.
 
The senior is 18-3 on the season and has recorded a team-high of 66 takedowns. He has tallied three wins by fall, seven tech falls and three major decisions so far this season. 
 
Upper Iowa went 2-0 at the Final Site Duals in St. Louis, Mo. on Sunday afternoon to claim a share of the GLVC crown, alongside McKendree and Maryville, in their debut season as a part of the league. The Peacocks finished 5-1 in the conference, two of those wins coming at the GLVC Championships against Quincy (48-3) and Indianapolis (29-15).

The team is set to prepare for the NCAA Super Region V in Minot, N.D. held on March 2 with two sessions, the first one held at 10 a.m. and the other with a 4 p.m. start time.
