GLENVILLE, W.Va. – Glenville State athletes Nwando Okigbo, Zachary Parker and Nick Johnson have earned GoMart Pioneer of the Week honors, the GSU Athletic Department announced.
 
Okigbo was big for the Lady Pioneers securing the MEC Regular Season title this week, averaging 17.0 PPG, 13.5 RPG, 2.5 BPG, 2.0 SPG and 1.0 SPG in wins over Charleston and Concord. Okigbo recorded two double doubles, with 20 points, 10 rebounds, three steals and one block in Wednesday's 87-66 win before scoring 14 points and grabbing 17 rebounds against Concord on Saturday. She also blocked four shots and had one steal versus the Mountain Lions.
 
Zachary Parker, who entered the 133-pound class as the No. 4 seed for the Pioneer Wrestling squad at Super Regionals, worked his way through with a pinfall in round one and a 7-6 decision in the quarterfinals. After an upset over the one seed, Parker matched up with the eight seed, where he won by decision to advance to the championship round. He then dominated West Liberty's James Armstrong Jr. in the finals to capture his first NCAA DII Super Region 3 Championship.
 
Nick Johnson was the number one seed at 197 pounds and looked like it all day, mowing through the competition on his way to a second straight championship at 197 pounds. Johnson won each of his three matches via major decision after earning a first-round bye, including a 13-3 victory against Ashland's Peyton Lemon in the title round.
