WOLVERINE BITES
• Senior/Junior Alec Pantaleo earned Big Ten Co-Wrestler of the Week honors after capturing the 157-pound title at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational (Dec. 1-2) with a perfect 5-0 record. Pantaleo earned decisive wins over a pair of top-10 opponents to close out the CKLV tournament, including a 10-3 decision against Ohio State's sixth-ranked Micah Jordan in the championship bout and a 9-3 semifinal victory against Nebraska's fourth-ranked Tyler Berger. It was Pantaleo's second trip to the CKLV finals; he previously took second place as a true freshman in 2014.
• Graduate student Adam Coon captured the second CKLV crown of his career with a 4-2 overtime win against Arizona State's fourth-ranked Tanner Hall. It was his second win against Hall already this season. Coon also earned a 2-0 win against Stanford's 13th-ranked Nathan Butler in the semifinals -- on an escape and third-period rideout. He posted a 6-0 tournament record with four bonus wins to improve to 11-0 on the season. Coon also claiming the CKLV heavyweight title as a true freshman in 2013.
• With his 6-0 record at the CKLV tournament, Coon remains undefeated this season and improved his career record to 98-13 over his four seasons at Michigan. He needs just two more wins to become the 36th Wolverine wrestler to reach 100 in his career.
• Freshmen Drew Mattin posted a 6-2 record with four bonus wins, including three pins, to claim fourth place at 125 pounds in his CKLV debut. Mattin reeled off five straight wins in the wrestlebacks after a second-round defeat, including two wins over returning All-Americans in Arizona State's Ryan Millhof (fall, 5:00) and Stanford's Connor Schram (6-4 SV). His only losses came against the eventual champion, Utah Valley's Tyler LaMont and 2017 NCAA finalist Ethan Lizak of Minnesota.
• Junior/sophomore Myles Amine earned four wins over ranked 174-pound opponents at the CKLV last weekend, including lopsided wins against Navy's No. 7 Jadaen Bernstein (10-1) and Northern Iowa's No. 8 Taylor Lujan (12-8) to claim third place for the second year in a row. In total, Amine owns six wins against ranked opposition this season, while all three of his losses have come against top-five opponents.
