GREENSBORO, N.C. - North Carolina's Spencer Nadolsky was tabbed Atlantic Coast Conference Wrestler of the Week Wednesday after posting a second-place finish in the heavyweight division at UNC Greensboro's Southern Scuffle over the holiday break.

After winning his first three bouts on the opening day of the tournament on Dec. 29, Nadolsky posted overtime decisions against No. 15 Andy Patrick of Boise State (4-3) and No. 8 Ed Prendergast of Navy (3-2) to advance to the championship match. In the finals, the senior from Holland, Mich., fell to No. 1-ranked Cole Konrad of Minnesota, 4-1. Nadolsky finished the tournament with a 5-1 record and currently sits with a mark of 13-3 on the season, needing just four wins to record career victory No. 100.

The weekly honor is Nadolsky's second of the season. North Carolina went on to finish ninth overall in the team standings at the Southern Scuffle accumulating 68.5 points.

Nadolsky and the Tar Heels are back in action Saturday at the Lone Star Duals in Grand Prairie, Texas.
