Chadron State's other winners were Brian Easterling, who managed four takedowns and won 10-4 at 157 pounds, and Sam Udell, who took a 9-1 major decision at heavyweight.
Two freshmen scored pins for the visiting Wolves. They were Beau Voegeli, who used a headlock en route to a second period victory at 149 pounds, and Matt Meuleners, who needed just a minute and 28 seconds to win at 197 pounds.
The other Northern State winners were Benton Crow, who took a 9-4 decision at 141 pounds, and Cale Corneman, who won an 8-0 major decision at 184.
