With the Raider lead at 21-7, Francksen-Small gave his team six points with a fall, one of two on the day for him.

DUAL #3 VS. MIDLAND

"It was a solid day at the GPAC Duals," commented head coach Rik Dahl. "2-1 wasn't what we were hoping for, but we saw a lot of fight from our young team. I was proud of the way the team responded after a heartbreaking first round loss to Concordia. They showed a lot of heart."
