USAF ACADEMY, Colo. - Wing Open Tournament action continued tonight (Feb. 14) with 10 hard-hitting quarterfinal matches in the Academy's Upper Boxing Room.

Junior Austin Almand was named the Boxer of the Week after a strong decisional win in a 165-pound contest.

Senior Ryan Price opened the night with a decision over freshman Marcus Tenenbaum, while Rudy Bowen took a decision from sophomore John Doeseckle. Senior Daryn Nelson took a victory from sophomore Charles Reynolds, when the referee stopped their contest in the first round. Freshman Joseph Silvio decisioned classmate Christopher De La Torre in the final 156-pound contest.
Junior Justin Lee took the first of three bouts in the 165-pound weight class, as he decisioned freshman Palmer Roux. Senior Clifford Moore moved one step closer to defending his Wing Open title, as he earned a referee-stopped (second round) win over freshman Will Remington. Almand earned a hard-hitting decision over senior Mike Tolzien in the final bout of that weight class.
