Viking Wrestlers Dominate Northern State 40-5
SIOUX FALLS - Augustana College claimed wins in nine of 10 weight
classes, including two forfeits, to easily defeat Northern State
University 40-5 in a non-conference wrestling dual Friday night at
the Elmen Center.
The Vikings, ranked No. 9 in this week's NCAA Division II
Wrestling Coaches' Association poll, got off to a great start with
pins by Cody Henriksen and Dusty Wilking. Henriksen, a 165-pounder,
opened the dual by pinning Lance Stuwe with 4 seconds left in the
match. Henriksen was leading the match 9-3 when he scored a takedown
with 14 seconds left on the clock and converted it into the fall 10
seconds later.
Wilking was also in complete control of his match when he pinned
Andy Sinclair at the 6:09 mark. He was leading 15-8 at the time of
the pin.
After Tom Meester collected a forfeit at 184 pounds, Augustana's
Tyler Bullerman held off NSU's Cory Wellnitz 9-7. Bullerman led 6-1
with 58 seconds left in the match before Wellnitz rallied late. The
decision gave Augustana a 21-0 lead.
Northern State's only win of the night came from heavyweight Baron
Blanchard, who scored a 17-2 technical fall over the Vikings' Ray
O'Connor. The match ended with 1:22 left in the third period.
It was all Vikings after that as Augie picked up decisions by
Aaron Graumann (125), Andre VanderVelde (141) and Matt McDougall
(157), a major decision by Chris Trampe (133) and a forfeit by Ryan
King (149).
VanderVelde led Brian Englund 5-4 after two periods. But Englund
scored an escape with 1:19 left in the third period to tie the score
5-5. VanderVelde scored the winning points with a takedown with 37
seconds left in the match.
McDougall's match against Spencer Dockery also went down to the
wire. Dockery took McDougall down with 40 seconds left in the match
to tie the score 7-7. However, he let McDougall escape because
McDougall was guaranteed a point for riding time. The escape gave
McDougall an 8-7 lead, while the riding time point gave McDougall a
9-7 decision.
Augustana returns to action on Wednesday, February 18, when the
Vikings entertain Nebraska-Omaha in a 7 p.m. dual in the Elmen
Center. The Mavericks are ranked No. 3 in this week's Division II
poll.
