MARSHALL, MINN.: Southwest Minnesota State lost a Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference dual on Wednesday evening, 46-0 to No. 20 Northern State in the P.E. Gym on the campus of SMSU. The loss drops the Mustangs to 0-9 overall and 0-3 in the NSIC, while NSU improves to 8-6 overall and 2-1 in the NSIC.

Things did not start off well for the Mustangs as they lost the first three matches by major decision, fall and forfeit. After a 10-3 decision for Northern's Dustin Bonn at 157 to make the score 19-0, C.D. Johnson nearly pulled off a victory for the Mustangs. Trailing 7-1 going into the third period, Johnson scored an escape, a takedown and a three-point nearfall with less than a minute remaining. However, the Wolves' Phillip Downs took nearly a minute-and-a-half of injury time to swing the momentum back and he held on with an escape to pull off an 8-7 decision.

Greg Frank also put forth a solid effort at 174 for SMSU, losing a 7-6 decision to Donnie Bowden. The senior led 5-3 after two periods, but allowed an escape and a takedown in the third period, and gave up 1:51 of riding time.

SMSU hosts No. 1 Minnesota State, Mankato on Saturday, Feb. 16 at 7 p.m.
