MSU-Northern Wrestling

David Ray’s Weekly Report

The dual was build to be a test for MSU-Northern Wrestling and it didn't fail. Northern lost to a NCAA Division I top 25 team 13-22 and had its chances in winning but could not capitalize in the bottom position and score the escape points. Northern fail 6 points behind quickley when 125 lber Jason Harrington was pinned from a headlock in the first period. At 133 senior Caleb Schaeffer did not wrestle with the passion it takes to defeat opponents like Scott Jorgensen losing 5-0. Freshman Chris Smith at 141 battled senior Jesse Brock in a tough match but could not keep up the physical pace and loss a heartbreaker 9-6. Anthony Haukenberry at 149 took on Great Falls hometown favorite Nick Budeski winning 4-1, Stryder Davis loss another heartbreaker at 157 3-2, all he needed to do was get an escape for a win or tie.

"Tough riding or not enough preparation on bottom made the difference in two matches that Northern could have easily won and won the dual 19-16 but it was not to be, at least tonight."

Jesse Juarez at 174 loss in over-time 5-3, it was a nail bitter, but it also was a match we should have won before the over-time if we were more prepared on bottom. Kyle Fisher scored a major with an 8-0 win, he looked the best he has all season, Emmett Willson followed with an 9-3 decision over the best wrestler on the Boise team. Mazi Burke wrestled heavyweight giving up 60 pounds, it was an exciting match with 25 seconds left and behind 7-5, Mazi escaped and got a takedown in about seven seconds going out of bounds. With 18 seconds left and Mazi ahead 8-7, all he needed to do was ride the big guy out, it felt more like 18 minutes at the end of the match and 18 seconds later Mazi was still on top and victorious.

Northern won four matches of the ten but learned a lot and took some lessons in where to improve for our goal this February 27-28.

Northern's next home dual is this Thursday, January 29th against Western Wyoming College followed by North Idaho College on Friday, January 30th. February 5th in Bismarck, ND against the U. of Mary closes the regular season before regionals in Havre on February 14th.

I forgot to mention the U. of Calgary did not make it to Havre on Saturday due to weather and road conditions.
