FARGO, N.D. – North Dakota State wrestling fell to RV Wyoming 27-12 in Big 12 action Friday night inside the Scheels Center at the Sanford Health Athletic Complex.
The Bison and Cowboys traded wins in the first half with Wyoming taking the opening match at 125 pounds. At 133, No. 24 Kyle Burwick put the Bison in front with his third-straight shutout tech fall, defeating Stockton O’Brien 15-0.
Wyoming would answer back with a pin at 141 pounds, but No. 31 Gavin Drexler tied the dual at 9-9 as he recorded four takedowns for his fourth-straight major decision, winning 13-2 over Antonio Avila.
In the only double ranked battle of the night, Wyoming’s No. 21 Jared Hill edged No. 33 Max Petersen 4-2 to give Wyoming the lead headed into the break and Wyoming would never trail again. The Cowboys would pick up another win out of the break with a late takedown at 165 pounds.
Devin Wasley would get the Bison a win at 174 pounds, as he reeled off his fourth-straight dual win with a 5-0 decision. However, the Bison wouldn’t pick up another win in the dual, falling by bonus points at 184 and 197 pounds before Drew Blackburn-Forst lost a sudden victory decision to Sam Mitchell at heavyweight.
The Bison will return to action on Saturday night, as NDSU welcomes in Utah Valley to the Scheels Center. The dual is set for a 7 p.m. start and will be televised live on WDAY Xtra.
