WRESTLING
WILLIAMSPORT — Freshman 197-pounder Travis Ogden (Clearfield) was named Middle Atlantic Conference Wrestler of the Week for his meet-clinching fall in Lycoming’s 24-16 victory at Gettysburg Saturday.
The Warriors (7-1) had rallied from a 13-5 deficit to take an 18-13 lead with two bouts remaining before Ogden flattened Brandon Gallagher at the 2:11 mark after building a 12-1 advantage.
The pin was a team-high seventh for Ogden, who is 14-6 with a 6-2 dual meet record.
Warrior senior Nolan Barger (Clearfield) moved up a weight to 174 and received a forfeit that set his record at 8-0 in dual meets and 17-1 overall.
Barger is ranked No. 5 by d3wrestle.com and No. 7 by the National Wrestling Coaches Association.

MEN’S BASKETBALL
GREENSBURG — Freshman forward Cody Spaid (Clearfield) snared a season-high nine rebounds, second on the team, and added two points, one assist and two blocks in just 12 minutes as Pitt-Greensburg made its best showing of the season in an 81-75 loss to Mount Aloysius in Chambers Hall last Wednesday.
Spaid’s layup with 6:32 remaining in the first half gave the Bobcats their biggest lead, 32-23, but the Mounties surged in front by intermission and went on to earn their first victory.
Spaid had one rebound in Pitt-Greensburg’s 108-90 loss to D’Youville at Buffalo, N.Y., Saturday.
The two Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference setbacks dropped the Bobcats to 0-7.
Spaid’s season totals show 26 points, 26 rebounds, two assists, one steal and six blocks.
He has averaged 12.3 minutes in the eight games.
