    Wisconsin wins at South Dakota State

    BROOKINGS, South Dakota -- As the Wisconsin football team fought for the Big Ten West Division title at home, the wrestling program was putting in work at South Dakota States' Frost Arena. With only three Wisconsin losses on the night, the Badgers wrestled to a 26-9 victory over the Jackrabbits.

    First-time starter, Johnny Jimenez started the night at 125 lbs. with a 5-2 decision over South Dakota’s Isaac Andrade to give Wisconsin three points.

    With four takedowns in the first period, No. 20 Ryan Taylor proved his talent once again with a 13-4 major decision over Brance Simms. Taylor brought the dual score to 7-0 in Wisconsin’s favor.

    Jesse Thielke and No. 12 Timmy McCall both fell to the Jackrabbits in decision by four or less points. No. 16 Cody Pack brought down Jarod Donar in a 7-3 decision.

    Sophomore TJ Ruschell won by decision over Luke Zilverberg, 10-5, with Frank Cousins following in similar fashion, marking a 10-4 decision over David Kocer.

    After going 7-0 in the first period, All-American No. 6 Isaac Jordan posted a 13-1 major decision over John Nething II to earn Wisconsin four points. Standout freshman Ricky Robertson ended the first period with a 4-1 lead and went on to defeat Brady Ayers 9-5.

    To round up the dual, No. 6 Connor Medbery recorded a pin at 1:26 over J.J. Everard to leave the Badgers with a 26-9 win.

    The Badgers take on North Dakota State tomorrow at 2 p.m. in Fargo, North Dakota before heading to the UNI Open next Saturday.
