DeKALB — A pinfall victory by redshirt sophomore Brit Wilson Friday helped seal the wrestling team’s 24-10 victory over Bucknell University.
Wilson put the win out of Bucknell’s reach with the only fall of the night, at 1:01 in the third round over Bison senior Brandon Stokes at the 184-weight class.
Huskie redshirt junior Max Ihry wrapped the Bucknell dual with a 7-1 decision win at 285 pounds over junior Nate Feyrer, while redshirt first-year Gage Braun hung with Bucknell senior Drew Phipps, a former 197 pound NCAA qualifier, in a 4-1 decision loss.
Head Coach Ryan Ludwig said toughness was a recurring theme in many contests, and [the Huskies] stepped up to show theirs.
