The win marks only the second win in the conference since joining the league during the 2006-07 season, and ends a 23-match winless streak in the WWC. The Jacks are now 2-23-1 since joining the league.
The win also marks the first win over the Bison since the 1996-97 season, when the Jacks won 24-10 in Fargo.
The Jacks improve their record to 2-11-1 on the season and 1-5 in conference while the Bison fall to 9-7, 2-3 in the WWC.
The Jacks ended tonight's match on a 13-0 run and secured the victory in the final match at heavyweight when winless Kevin Kelly picked up his first win of the year in a 4-1 decision over Joe Arthur. Kelly is now 1-6 on the season.
"Winning the last dual of the year and winning it against the Bison is a big deal for our program," said head coach Jason Liles. "They beat No. 6 Boise State earlier this season, which shows you what type of program they have. Hopefully this win gives our kids momentum and something to build on going into the regional."
SDSU opened the match on a 10-0 run as freshman Aaron Pickrel scored a major decision at 125 pounds and the Bison forfeited the 133-pound class.
Pickrel's win pushes him to 22-11 on the season, as he defeated Justin Solberg 15-5. Solberg entered tonight's match ranked No. 30 in the RPI and is now 22-10 on the season.
At 184 pounds, David Michaud started the 13-0 run with a pin of Kenny Moenkedick at 2:13, boosting his record to an even 7-7 on the year. Tyler Sorenson kept the ball rolling with a bonus point 15-4 major decision win at 197 pounds over Drew Ross, setting up Kelly's heroic victory.
The Jacks are idle next week as they prepare to host the 2010 NCAA West Regional at Frost Arena on March 6.
