NDSU wrestling falls to #10 Minnesota

FARGO, N.D. – North Dakota State wrestling fell 39-0 to No. 10 Minnesota on Friday night at the Scheels Center, with the Golden Gophers leading the table with five bonus point decisions.

The Bison were held scoreless for the first time since 2009 and only the fourth time in the Division I era. The last shutout came on December 13, 2009 in a 42-0 loss to No. 21 Oregon State.

NDSU gave up a few decisions to start the dual, but Kyle Burwick nearly had a win at 133 pounds as time expired, as Burwick tried to finish a landed shot and fell to a 3-2 loss to #8 Tyler Wells.

#32 Gavin Drexler would also end with a narrow loss to #22 Drew Roberts at 149 pounds. Drexler nailed a late takedown and then completed another takedown after time expired, falling 8-6.

Minnesota has four bonus point wins in its last five games, including three consecutive technical falls to end the game. #1 Gable Steveson closed the dual at heavyweight with an 18-3 technical fall in 1:50 in his collegiate return.

NDSU set a record for wrestling attendance at the Scheels Center, with 1,529 in attendance, breaking the previous mark of 1,511 against #3 Oklahoma State on November 26, 2017.

The Bison will be off for three weeks before returning on December 15 against #12 Iowa State in Humboldt, Iowa.
