By Wes Mayberry 

ADA — Ohio Northern senior Chase Sumner (Ada) was named the Ohio Athletic Conference Wrestler of the Week for the week of Nov. 7-13.

This marks Sumner's first career OAC Wrestler of the Week honor.

The recognition comes after Sumner went a perfect 4-0 with three pins and a technical fall at 149 pounds to help lead the No. 15 Ohio Northern wrestling team to a 4-0 record at the Adrian (Mich.) Duals on Saturday.

The Polar Bears earned wins of 42-12 over Southwestern Michigan Community College, 28-15 over Wisconsin-Stevens Point, 47-6 over Alma (Mich.) and 58-0 over Henry Ford (Mich.) Community College.

Sumner is 6-1 on the season and is ranked No. 10 nationally at 149 pounds. He is the second consecutive ONU wrestler to earn OAC weekly honors, as sophomore Jacob Reed (Lancaster) earned the accolade on Nov. 7.

The Polar Bears (4-0 overall) open OAC dual meet action on Tuesday when they host Wilmington at 7 p.m. at the ONU Sports Center.
