133: Jarvis Little, Appalachian State over #14 Zach Redding, NC State 9-4

125: #16 Brady Roark, South Dakota State over #3 Jore Volk, Minnesota 6-4

174: #14 MJ Gaitan, Iowa State over #2 Patrick Kennedy, Iowa 9-8 TB

174: #25 Moses Espinoza-Owens, South Dakota State over #21 Ethan Riddle, Minnesota 4-1

133: #6 Evan Frost, Iowa State over #3 Drake Ayala, Iowa 11-5

App State registered a nice win from Little as the Mountaineers notched four wins against NC State. Roark, Gaitan and Block all scored wins over top 5 opponents from outside the top 10. It's a good bet they will all make big jumps in the rankings this week.

Ungar took advantage of his opportunities at the Lock Haven Open I, a tournament that did not see many ranked wrestlers enter the brackets. 

Rasmussen, Tagg, and Esponoza-Owens were all part of the Jackrabbits' historic win over Minnesota. The Cyclones had a historic win of their own in the Cy-Hawk dual, and Frost's upset was a big part of that. 

That's all the upsets for week 5. Let us know if we missed anything!
