St. Cloud, Minn.- No. 1 St. Cloud State Wrestling (11-0, 6-0 NSIC) stayed unbeaten on the year as they defeated No. 2 Wisconsin-Parkside 18-12 Friday evening. The dual kicked off at 125 where Conor Knopick wrestled against No. 12 Shane Corrigan. The match would head into overtime after Knopick scored a riding time point and Corrigan tallied an escape. In overtime, Knopick blocked a shot attempt by Corrigan and maintained positioning as he maneuvered his way to the edge of the mat.

Njos chose the top position to start the period and had an incredible ride that lasted one minute and 56 seconds. Worachek escaped with four seconds remaining, but it would not matter as Colby Njos won 2-1 off an outstanding ride. No. 1 Joel Jesuroga, No. 3 Nick Novak, and No. 2 Bryce Dagel kept it rolling for the Huskies with three decision victories as the Huskies would now lead 15-6.
