COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Joe Guzzio (Greensboro, N.C./Grimsley) was named ACC Wrestler of the Week after leading the Terps to a 22-15 win over NC State on Jan. 22.

Guzzio set the tone for the Terrapins (3-1, 1-0 in the ACC) by defeating 16th-ranked Lee Carroll, 6-4, in the opening match of the evening. The pair had met on two previous occasions, with Carroll coming out on top each time.

Guzzio, whose brother Jim was an All-American at 134 pounds in 1997, improved his record to 17-7 on the year. During his two seasons at Maryland, he has demonstrated extreme poise in one of the ACC's toughest weight classes.

Earlier this season, he took the crown at the Millersville Invitational and finished fifth at the East Stroudsburg Open.
