Wrestling Defeats North Dakota State, 21-18

Jan. 26, 2008

GREELEY, Colo. - For just the second time since Jack Maughan has been the head coach at the University of Northern Colorado, the wrestling team defeated North Dakota State, doing so Saturday afternoon 21-18. The Bears improve to 4-5 in dual matches and 2-1 in Western Wrestling Conference action, while the Bison fall to 7-8 overall and 1-1 in league.

North Dakota State scored the first nine points of the match, getting a fall by Kenny Moendick and a decision by Jacob Bryce at 184 and 197 pounds, respectively.

The Bison were victorious in the next two weight classes, with Eric Sanders winning a 6-5 decision over Blayze Bahe and Gabriel Mooney defeating Richard Lohr 6-4.

"I'm very proud of how Blayze Bahe and Richard Lohr finished their matches," said Maughan. You have to win in the third period to win matches and was proud of how they wrestled at the end, even though they didn't win."

Junior Daniel Prater held an early lead over Andrey Patselov, but saw it slip away with just 1:07 left on the clock as Patselov recorded a takedown and then a nearfall to lead 7-6. With eight ticks left, Prater got a reversal to win 8-7 and pull NC back within four, 15-11.

Maughan is now 2-19-1 all-time against his father, North Dakota State coach Bucky Maughan.

Northern Colorado will now take 12 days off from competition, returning to the mats on Feb. 8 as the Bears host Utah Valley State in Western Wrestling Conference action. That match is set to begin at 7:00 p.m.
