Cedar Falls IA (NDSU) – North Dakota State wrestling fell to Northern Iowa 27-11 Sunday afternoon in the Big 12 opener at the McLeod Center. NDSU had a pair of upset ranked wins and a tech fall in the loss.

Ezekiel Witt<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0started off the dual for the Bison with an upset on a final second takedown. Witt trailed 1-0 in the third after selecting neutral to start the period. Witt then secured a takedown over #14 Trever Anderson in the final seconds to secure a 3-1 victory.

After a pair of major decisions from Northern Iowa,\u00a0Max Petersen<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0made his season debut and picked up another upset, securing a 6-5 win over #16 Caleb Rathjen. Petersen had a takedown into what appeared to be back points and a near pin. However, the matched was stopped and near fall points were taken away, due to an injury to Rathjen. However, the match resumed a minute later and Petersen held on for the victory.

True freshman\u00a0Gabriel Gallardo<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0then battled Cael Rahnavardi, securing a takedown and a reversal, but fell in a close match 10-6 in Gallardo’s first match at 157 pounds.

Northern Iowa started the second half with back-to-back major decisions, and then clinched the dual with a 4-2 win at 184 pounds.

Devin Wasley<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0would close out the NDSU wins with a dominant tech fall at 197. Wasley scored a takedown and a two-point nearfall in the first period, before a reversal and a pair of four-point nearfalls for a 15-0 win over John Gunderson.

The Panthers would add their own tech fall in the heavyweight match to close out the dual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

North Dakota State will return to action on December 7, as the Bison travel to Minneapolis to take on Minnesota. The dual between the Bison and Gophers is scheduled for a 1 p.m. start at Maturi Pavilion.
