    St. Cloud State defeats Northern State

    St. Cloud, Minn. -- St. Cloud State University's Nick Wilkes won by decision over Northern State's Cale Cornemann, at the 184-pound weight class, 10-4, to give St. Cloud University enough points to secure its second victory of the season, at Halenbeck Hall on Jan. 13, winning by a score of 27-16. SCSU is now 2-1 on the 2006-07 season in wrestling this year.

    Sonny Silva (133), Grant Johnson (149), and Matt Steffenson (165) all added big points for SCSU as they all took home pins in their second period of each match. This was Silva's first appearance at a duo meet, and his first pin of the year.

    Tim Whitley's match at 141 pounds kept Silva's high energy for the Huskies as he won a triple-overtime, sudden-death, match over Dave Schiley, 14-9, on a last minute take down. Hometown wrestler, Neil Russell, also appeared for the Huskies in his first duo meet of the year, picking up a 15-10 decision over Brunau Augustin at 174-pounds.

    SCSU suffered three losses, as no. 6-ranked Chas Welch won a decision over St. Cloud's Westy Hanson, 5-1 at 125-pounds. Todd Naasz picked up a win over SCSU's Jairo Sandoval at the 197-pound weight class, 11-1. Phillip Downs, NSU, defeated Adam Minnette, 6-1 at 157-pounds. The Huskies forfeited the heavyweight match, making the final score 27-16.

    The Huskies will prepare to travel to number two-ranked Nebraska-Omaha on Friday, Jan. 19 and will face off against Augustana on Saturday, Jan. 20.
