Augustana wrestler Ty Copsey has been chosen 2007-08 North Central Conference freshman of the year in a vote of the league's head coaches, the NCC office announced Thursday.
Copsey, a 197-pounder from Glenwood, Iowa, enjoyed one of the most successful seasons by a Viking freshman. He compiled a 31-7 overall record to go along with a 6-1 dual record, won the North Regional title and earned All-America honors by placing fourth at the NCAA Division II National Championships.
Copsey, whose 31 victories led the team, enjoyed a lot of success during the regular season.
