Aberdeen, S.D. -- After losing four consecutive matches, Minnesota State put together back-to-back decision wins, but it was not enough, as MSU fell to Northern State 18-17 in NSIC dual action.

The dual started at 141-lb with a MSU forfeit, giving NSU a 6-0 lead.  Following the forfeit, MSU would rally off three bouts in a row starting at 149-lb with Jesse Westphal defeating Gavin Larsen in a 7-2 decision.

After Westphal got the Mavericks on the board, senior Tel Todd (10-2) and freshman Cody Quinn (13-1) both recorded major decision wins to put MSU up 11-6. 

The Wolves would win the next four matches, all via decisions, to capture an 18-11 lead that they would not relinquish.

David Demo went on to defeat Anthony Bruno 5-3 at 125-lb and Brian Reisenauer defeated Ian Muirhead 8-6 in OT.

The 18-17 win marks the first time that Northern State has defeated Minnesota State in ten meetings.

MSU will be in action again tomorrow night as they travel to U-Mary.
