ORANGE CITY, Iowa — Northwestern College battled throughout the night but fell 31–11 to Dakota Wesleyan in a tough GPAC dual on Tuesday.
The Red Raiders opened the dual with a strong performance at 125lbs, where
Logan Schroeder controlled the match start to finish in a 5–1 decision. At 133lbs Ethan Skogland dropped a narrow decision to DWU's Kipp Cordes. The Raiders responded at 141 with one of their most dominant efforts of the evening—
Noah Parmelee poured on the offense for a 16–7 major decision over Ian Metz. The momentum continued at 149lbs, with
Johnny Burnette following suit with a major decision of his after a commanding 10–1 performance over Landon Flogstad. Despite these early highlights, DWU capitalized on bonus-point victories in several middle and upper-weight bouts to take control of the dual. At 157lbs,
Cade Braun battled in a back-and-forth match before falling in a tight 11–8 decision to Tyson Johnson. DWU then strung together a series of technical falls and a fall at 197 heading into the final bout at 285lbs where
