Freshman 145-pounder Nicoli Allspach ran his record to 7-2 with two victories on the night, including Newton’s only victory against ADM. He pinned Justin Wong in 4 minutes, 56 seconds to earn all of Newton’s 6 points in the loss. Against Nevada, he scored a 10-1 major decision over Tray Pelzer.

Other wins for the Cardinals against Nevada included pins by freshman Bryce Tish (126), sophomore Jeffrey Thongvanh (160), freshman Jordan Henning (195) and junior Ray Schroeder (220), who improved his record to 6-3 on the year.
