FARGO, N.D. - The North Dakota State wrestling
team saw its six match win streak come to a halt in a 25-15 loss to
Western Wrestling Conference foe Wyoming on Sunday in front of 628
fans. The Bison are now 9-5 overall and 2-1 in the WWC while the
Cowboys improve to 10-3 overall and 5-0 in the WWC. Wyoming claimed
five of the final six bouts, including two wins by major decision and
one technical fall.
After an NDSU forfeit at 133, the Bison reeled off three straight

Kasey Garnhart at 141 pounds after notching two takedowns as well as a
riding time point.
At 149 pounds, junior Andrey Patselov earned a 3-2 win over Chase Smith thanks to a 1:24 riding time advantage.

157 pounds. Salminen tallied two takedowns and a reversal in the win.

the team back within striking distance as he pinned L.J. Helbig in only
59 seconds.

tie the match, but No. 12 Michael Martinez overpowed Solberg in a 14-5
