The Panthers hosted three duals, including match-ups between UNK and UVU. UNI improved to 2-0. Utah Valley split 1-1, and UNK fell to 0-2.
"I saw a lot of good things," said head coach Doug Schwab. "Utah Valley really made our guys earn a lot of things. I think we still have some weight classes up for grabs."
UNK DUAL
The Panthers, ranked 23rd in the latest NWCA coaches poll, earned bonus points in seven matches against UNK, getting falls from Jay Schwarm at 125 pounds and Max Thomsen.
Schwarm got the Panthers on the board early with a fall in 1 minute, 2 seconds. Josh Alber kept the momentum building 2:24 of riding time in the first period. He went on to tally more than four minutes of riding time to earn a 15-1 tech fall.
Two more Panthers earned tech falls in their opening dual. Taylor Lujan had five first-period takedowns and went on to record a tech fall in 5:33.
UTAH VALLEY DUAL
Alber was the first to get UNI on the board with his second set of bonus points for the night. He beat Jarod Maynes, 20-11.
A late takedown by Jake Hodges gave him the lead, but an escape at the buzzer sent the 141-pound match into sudden victory. Hodges struck right away with a takedown to win 9-7 and put the Panthers up 7-3.
Thomsen followed up his fall with a major decision, earning more than three minutes in riding time.
Bryce Steiert took the mat for the Panthers for the first time this season. His 7-4 decision kept the Panther lead, 14-3.
After his major decision at 157 pounds against UNK, Paden Moore moved up to 165 pounds but wasn't able to hold off Koy Wilkinson, who won 8-5.
Lujan had four takedowns to help him grab an 11-9 decision over Kimball Bastian.
After wrestling at 197 pounds earlier in the night, Foster fell back to the 184-pound weight class to earn his second set of bonus points. He earned more than three minutes of riding time and went on to win 13-5.
JJ Everard sealed UNI's win with a 3-2 decision.
UP NEXT: The Panthers will send wrestlers to the Harold Nichols Cyclone Open Sunday. UNI hosts No. 6 Virginia Tech at 7 p.m. Nov. 18 in the West Gym. Student-athletes will be signing autographs following the dual.
