Hunsberger Named Conference Carolinas Wrestler of the Week

GREENVILLE, S.C. – Senior David Hunsberger has been named the Conference Carolinas Wrestler of the Week, the league announced Tuesday afternoon. The honor marks just the second weekly award of Hunsberger's career, with his first coming during Week 5 of his freshman season in 2022–23.

The award is the fourth weekly honor earned by Lander this season, the most in a single season in program history. Hunsberger joins Isaac Sheeren, Dylan Kohn, and George Maholtz as Bearcats to earn weekly recognition this year.

The Duncan, S.C. native went a perfect 4-0 at the NWCA National Duals in Cedar Falls, Iowa, helping lead Lander to a top-four finish at the event for the second time in program history. On Friday, Hunsberger picked up two wins, including a technical fall, as the Bearcats knocked off #19 UMary and #13 St. Cloud State to advance to the semifinals.

Hunsberger capped the weekend with a pair of wins over ranked opponents on Saturday, defeating 14th-ranked Bryce Daupin of top-ranked Central Oklahoma, 8-6, before closing the tournament with a 7-1 decision over sixth-ranked Brody Hemauer of third-ranked Wisconsin–Parkside.

Hunsberger has suffered just one loss this season, coming in the finals of the Midwest Classic, and has seen his opponent's hand raised only nine times across three-and-a-half collegiate seasons.

The Lander Wrestling team returns to action Saturday at 2 p.m. as the Bearcats travel to Marietta, Ga., to face second-ranked Life University.
