Wilson and Makabe Aid Mavericks to Comeback Win Over Mustangs
Marshall, Minn. -- Maverick senior heavyweight Brady Wilson (Faribault, Minn.) cruised to a technical fall victory and tied the Minnesota State career record for wins with 136. In the process, he put the capper on a wild 22-15 dual win over Southwest Minnesota State on Saturday. The Mavericks improved to 9-5 on the season and finished 4-3 in Northern Sun Intercollegiate action.
Junior Andy Forstner (Madelia, Minn.) earned a major decision win at 125 pounds to get the Mavericks on the board but two straight Mustang wins put MSU down 6-4 heading into 149 pounds. Senior Travis Elg (Mountain Lake, Minn.) put Minnesota State back in front with a dominating 20-8 win over previously ranked Demond Carter, followed by a 4-1 win from fellow senior Justin Turek (New Prague, Minn.) at 157 pounds.
Minnesota State fell behind by a score of 12-11when senior Darren Olsen (Davis, Ill.) was forced to default at 165 pounds due to injury. Another Mustang win at 174 put the Mavericks in a 15-11 hole with only three matches left. Sophomore Aaron Norgren (Good Thunder, Minn.) began the comeback with 3-1 win at 184 pounds, securing a takedown with less that 10 seconds remaining.
Perhaps the most exciting and important match of the afternoon came at 197 pounds. Junior John Makabe (Apple Valley, Minn.), a 157-pounder at the start of the season, traded escapes in his match with Alex Huls to push the match into overtime. Midway through the extra set, Makabe picked up an upper-body takedown to give the Mavericks some breathing room heading into heavyweight.
Wilson rolled to an 18-3 technical fall victory in just 4:46, improving to 26-4 on the season. He tied four-time All-American Jason Rhoten's Minnesota State career mark and improved his career ledger to 136-20.
The Mavericks will compete at the NCAA North Regional qualifier next Sunday at Northern State University in Aberdeen, S.D.
