UNI 25, SDSU 12
UNI found itself down again in its second dual of the afternoon, but the Panthers rallied, winning six of their final seven matches to secure a 25-12 victory over the Jackrabbits.
Joe Colon (133) had yet another win with bonus points, scoring a 12-0 major decision over Nick Chavez. Colon extended his win streak to 13 matches. In those 13 matches, the redshirt sophomore has compiled four falls, four technical falls, four major decisions, and just one regular decision.
Coming into the 149-pound bout, UNI was down 9-4. However, redshirt sophomore Seth Noble sparked the Panther comeback, winning a tight 4-3 decision over Andrew Youngblom, where a riding time point proved to be the difference.
Bonin had another quality win in his second match of the day, as he defeated SDSU's Nick Flynn with a 4-1 decision. The junior topped Flynn for the 157-pound title at the UNI Open earlier in the season and improved to 25-6 overall with another win.
Riley Banach (165) took his first win of the weekend against Dillon Reid with an exciting 13-7 decision.
To close out the afternoon, Loder, Kettman and Beale swept the last three matches once again.
Loder (184) compiled his second tech. fall of the day over Troy Morrisette. The redshirt sophomore is now 27-2 overall and 11-1 in dual action. He and Colon both lead the squad in tech. falls with six apiece.
Kettman (197) survived a close match with the Jackrabbits' Nick Mart. The redshirt sophomore won with a 6-4 decision and become one of four Panthers to end the weekend 3-0. The others include Colon, Bonin and Loder.
Beale finished the day with a 14-1 major decision over Joe Skow. Beale is now 23-9 overall and 8-4 in dual competition.
