Each week, TheMat.com will select an Athlete of the Week, based upon performance within wrestling for that week. The selection committee will consider any level of wrestling, from youth programs through the Senior level.    Pascoe, a senior 184-pounder at the Univ. of Nebraska, helped Nebraska reach its second-highest dual win total (19) in school history with two wins last week.    On Friday, the Huskers defeated Air Force Academy thanks in part to Pascoe's 17-7 major decision over Luke Lefever. Nebraska won the dual 31-15.    On Saturday evening, Pascoe defeated 2004 All-American Kurt Backes, 9-6, to help the Huskers to a 16-15 defeat of then second-ranked Iowa State.
