St. Cloud, Minn. -- #11 St. Cloud State (6-3, 3-0 NSIC) fended off a late #13 Augustana (6-7, 1-2 NSIC) rally to pick up a narrow 17-16 NSIC dual victory Friday evening at the Ronken Center.
Josh Williams (Banks, Ore.), Gabe Suarez (Las Vegas), John Sundgren (Blaine), Tad Merritt (Canby) and Derek Skala (Owatonna) all recorded victories in a dual that was split 5-5 in matches, and was decided by a Sundgren major decision.
The Huskies controlled the middle weights after losing the opening bout. Five of the next six matches went SCSU's way as they held on after Augustana took the last three matches by decision.
SCSU will be in action tomorrow, when they travel to Marshall, Minn. to take on Southwest Minnesota State for a 2:00 bout. Augie will be in Bismarck, N.D. next Friday for a 7:00 p.m. dual with Mary.
