UVSC wrestler in prestigious tourney
Fairbanks shines as women hoopsters play Cougars tough
The Midlands is an invitation-only tournament comprised of some of the most talented wrestlers in the country.
Tadzhimetov is 12-4 on the season, including a first-place finish at the Cyclone Open in November. Three of his four losses have come against wrestlers currently ranked in the top 10 nationally in the NWCA/Intermat poll.
The week that was
MENS BASKETBALL: The Wolverines lost Saturday at Boise State 79-62. Senior guard Sylvester Allison netted a career-high 23 points. The Broncos shot 58 percent from the field, while UVSC (5-5) shot 41 percent. The Wolverines never led.
Wolverine of the week
ROBYN FAIRBANKS, FRESHMAN CENTER, WOMENS BASKETBALL: Fairbanks lit up the Cougars in Saturday's loss at BYU. She scored 17 of her 19 points in the second half on 7-of-11 shooting after halftime. Working primarily down low on the right block, Fairbanks put on a clinic with her nifty footwork in the low post. She also stepped outside to nail a key 3-pointer.
"We really are reaching that sense of confidence where we know if we execute our play, get the ball to Robyn, Robyn's going to score," UVSC coach Cathy Nixon said. "She really came back (in the second half) and went at them. If she can add that low block presence to her game, I think Robyn Fairbanks is going to be phenomenal."
