BOWLING GREEN, Ky.— Trinity Howard earned the first conference weekly honor of her career Monday afternoon as the Mid-South Conference (MSC) released its athlete of the week awards. As announced by the league office, Howard was named the MSC Women's Wrestler of the Week, marking the first such honor by a Montreat women's wrestler in program history.
 
At the Wasps Open on Friday, Howard marched her way to a bracket victory out of seven participants in the 123-lb weight class. She notched a pin after receiving a bye to the quarterfinals, then collected a pair of tech falls to tally her second bracket triumph of the year and third of her career. Howard now holds a 10-3 overall record following her 3-0 slate in Virginia.
 
Howard and the women's wrestling team now head to St. Andrews University on Jan. 19.
