North Dakota State (3-2, 0-0 Big12) is scheduled to send wrestlers to compete in the Cliff Keen Collegiate Invitational on Dec. 6-7 in Las Vegas.
Augustana (0-2, 0-0 NSIC) jumped to an early 9-0 lead thanks to a forfeit at 125 pounds and Brandon Carroll's 10-6 over freshman Tyler Jones at 133.
NDSU then reeled off eight straight wins. Dylan Droegemueller led 3-2 in the third period, but used a pair of 4-point near falls to put together a 14-2 major decision. Droegemueller notched his first collegiate dual win and improved to 5-2 overall.
Jaden Van Maanen (1-4, 1-4) broke a four-match losing streak to start the season with a hard-fought 4-0 decision over Keaten Schorr at 149 pounds, while 157 Jared Franek (7-2, 3-2) muscled his way to a 16-5 major decision to put the Bison ahead for the first time at 11-9.
Bonus point wins continued as No. 8-ranked 165-pounder Andrew Fogarty (9-0, 5-0) recorded his third tech fall of the season, 15-0 at 4:41, while 174 Lorenzo De La Riva (1-1, 1-1) and 184 Noah Cressell (3-3, 2-1) followed with major decisions.
Turning in the afternoon's most impressive performance was 197-pound redshirt junior Cole Witzig (6-4, 1-0), who tilted his way to a 16-1 tech fall in 2:17. He led 10-0 in the first minute. It was the first tech fall for Witzig since his freshman year, who also picked up his first collegiate dual win.
NDSU redshirt senior 285-pounder Dan Stibral (3-2, 1-0) closed out the dual with a 2-0 decision over Steven Hajas. Stibral gained an escape early in the second period and held the top position for the entire third period for the win.
