The Storm began the night 6-0 because the Norse were open at 125. Luther's Zach Bartlett (133) posted a major decision over Matt Koch, giving Luther its first points of the evening. A pin by three-time All-American Matt Pyle (149), followed by a pin by 2006 national qualifier Nate Van Dyke (165), and a tech fall by A J Gregg (174), gave the Norse what looked like a comfortable 21-12 lead. Simpson's Garrett Kiley pulled the Storm to within thee points (21-18) after pinning Scott Jennings at 184. Following Bonander's decisive victory, Allyn Plattner lost a hard fought battle at 285 (9-6).
The win gives the Norse an overall record of 3-0, 1-0 in the IIAC. Simpson is now 1-2 overall, 0-2 in league competition.
Luther's next varsity action will be in Orlando, Fla., when it will host the first annual Gator Duals on Dec. 16.
