WICHITA, Kan. – It took just one event for freshman Brayden Pacheco to make his mark on the Friends University men's wrestling program, as he has been voted the KCAC Men's Wrestler of the Week following an outstanding performance in his first career tournament.

Competing in a competitive Falcon Open, Pacheco ran through to the championship match in the 125 pound division this past weekend in Park City, Kan.

The Garden City, Kan. native defeated No. 4-ranked Connor Hueck of St. Thomas and also knocked off Kaden Spragis of NCAA D-II Central Oklahoma in his four victories before falling in the title match to Ray Ray Harris of Doane.

Pacheco and the Falcons will next be in action on Nov. 12 in a dual at Newman University at 7 pm.
