CHAMPAIGN — The Illinois wrestling team picked up its second win of the weekend by defeating Northern Illinois 25-12 on Sunday at Huff Hall.

Zane Richards, Kyle Langenderfer, Isaiah Martinez, Emery Parker and Brooks Black earned victories for the Illini (4-2).

“I didn’t see much from them (Sunday), quite honestly,” coach Jim Heffernan said. “Frankly, it’s just one of those deals after a good win and an emotional high, the safeguard, the thing we try to warn them against, is being flat and that’s about as flat as our team has been in a very, very long time.
