Lights finish in the middle of the NAIA pack
Even though the MSU-Northern wrestling team was a long shot for a
trophy at the 2006 NAIA National Wrestling tournament this weekend

got. The unranked Lights finished 15th overall with 37 team points.
The tournament was captured by Dana College with a tournament-record
193 points. Defending champion Lindenwood was second and the
University of Great Falls finished a disappointing 10th.
