LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell senior 141-pounder Darren Miller earned EIWA Wrestler of the Week honors on Monday after he upset 10th-ranked Carter Young of Oklahoma State in the teams' dual meet on Saturday night at Sojka Pavilion.
Miller, ranked No. 28 by Intermat, earned a hard-fought 4-2 decision, reversing an 8-3 loss to Young in last year's dual in Stillwater. Miller got on the board with a takedown just 15 seconds into the bout and then rode Young for the rest of the first period. Miller's escape was the only point of the second period, and his hefty riding time advantage took the drama out of Young's takedown with 32 seconds left in the match.
Miller was an NCAA qualifier after finishing third in the EIWA Championships in the 133-pound class in 2021. He made the jump to 141 last season and placed fifth at EIWAs.
No. 11 Oklahoma State won Saturday's dual 30-6 to improve to 2-0 on the season. Bucknell will head into tournament action for the next few weeks, starting with the Navy Classic in Annapolis on Saturday.
