CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - University of Virginia wrestler Scott Moore (Franklin, Pa./Franklin Academy), ranked #2 in the nation at 141-pounds, has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference's Wrestler of the Week. It is the second time this season that Moore has been recognized by the ACC for the honor. He was also named the ACC Wrestler of the Week on November 24th. Moore, a 141-pound All-American, is a perfect 27-0 on the season including 3-0 in dual match action with 19 of his 27 victories wins coming by fall.

Moore has taken first place in all five invitationals/tournaments that he has competed in this season. He won the Michigan State Open, Cornell's Body Bar Invitational, the Mat Town USA Invitational, the Collegiate Beast of the East and UNC Greensboro's Southern Scuffle.

Moore has already shattered the UVa school record for most pins in a single season with his 19 falls (the former school record was 11) and is currently sixth all-time for most falls in a career at UVa just midway through one season. Moore is on pace to become the eighth UVa wrestler to be named an All-American.

Moore and the Cavaliers will return to action on Sunday, January 18th when UVa travels to Norfolk, Va. to compete in the 2004 Virginia Intercollegiate State Wrestling Championship. The event is scheduled to take place on the campus of Old Dominion University and will begin at 10:00 AM.
