Josh Alber secured a statement win on Thursday night.

The Northern Iowa senior, ranked No. 11 nationally at 141 pounds, scored a late third-period takedown to defeat Missouri’s Jaydin Eierman, 4-3. Eierman, a two-time All-American for the Tigers who’s ranked third nationally, held the lead after an escape to open the final frame.

Unfortunately for the Panthers, that was the highlight of the evening.
