ARCATA, Calif. -- Jayson Victoria of Cal Poly Humboldt Wrestling was named Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) Men's Wrestler of the Week on Tuesday afternoon for his standout performances in Oregon this past Friday and Saturday. 

On Friday at No. 9 ranked (NAIA) Southern Oregon University, Victoria (149 pounds) produced one of the night's most exciting results, pulling off a stunning 5-4 victory in a triple-overtime decision over Southern Oregon's second-ranked Evan Potter. 

Following up his thrilling win on Friday, Victoria delivered a gritty 7-2 decision over Corban's Bo Davis at 149 pounds. As a university, Corban is ranked No. 13 nationally in the NAIA Top-25.

Victoria, a freshman from Dublin, California, is the first Lumberjack to earn MPSF Wrestler of the Week honors since the program was relaunched this season. Freshman Josh Neiwert (133 pounds) has received votes for MPSF Wrestler of the Week twice this season, but has not yet taken home the weekly honor. 

"That was probably one of the most exciting matches of the year on Friday," said head coach Lennie Zalesky. "The entire match was action packed and a great environment to be in with the loud crowd. I'm proud of the way he fought to the end against a No. 2 ranked opponent and glad he got recognized with this weekly honor."

Victoria will look to continue his streak on Sunday, December 22 at the Reno Tournament of Champions.
