KU Wrestling's Weinberg, Gimbor Named All-PSAC

Kutztown University wrestling placed All-American Matthew Weinberg (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) and national qualifier Dalton Gimbor (Bernville, Pa./Hamburg) on 2022-23 All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference teams.

Weinberg is a repeat First Team selection after going 28-3 and placing fourth in the 184-pound weight class at the NCAA Division II Championships. The Philadelphian led Kutztown in wins, wins over nationally-ranked opponents (four), technical falls (four) and pins (14). He went a perfect 11-0 in duals, including 7-0 in PSAC matches, while racking up 52 team points for the Golden Bears. Weinberg finished runner-up at 184 in the NCAA Super Region 1 Championships, before battling back from a first round defeat at nationals to reach the consolation final and ultimately finish fourth for his first All-America honor.

Gimbor, in his first year as a Golden Bear, reached the 20-win mark with a pair of victories in the NCAA DII Championships and secured a spot on the All-PSAC Third Team. The Bernville, Pa., native registered a 21-10 overall record, five pins and a team-leading five major decisions. Gimbor posted an 8-3 record in duals and went 5-2 in PSAC duals, earning 33 team points while yielding just nine. He qualified for nationals by virtue of a third-place finish in the 165-pound bracket at the Super Region 1 Championships and went on to win a preliminary round match and consolation match in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Eric Bartos of Mercyhurst claimed Athlete of the Year, while teammate Jake Niffenegger was voted Freshman of the Year. Pitt-Johnstown's Pat Pecora took home his third straight Coach of the Year honor.
