    Northern Illinois takes down Buena Vista, Tiffin

    DEKALB, Ill. -- The Northern Illinois University wrestling team earned a pair of victories on Saturday, defeating Buena Vista, 52-0, and Tiffin, 41-9, at the NIU Convocation Center.

    The Huskies earned 18 match victories in the two duals, including nine coming by fall. Senior Derek Elmore (Loves Park, Ill./Harlem) won both of his matches by fall at 125 pounds.

    “I thought we came out with an aggressive, confident, attacking style and I think that is the team approach we need to have,” said NIU head coach Ryan Ludwig. “I was glad we preached that all week and I was glad to see we went out and got after it. I was especially excited about the way we attacked on top; I thought we did a very nice job in the top position today.

    “I thought Derek Elmore did a really nice job leading us out today. He has always been a spark plug at the beginning of the lineup for us and it always helps when your 125 pounder leads you out right. I thought Tyler Argue did a nice job today and I was happy with Danny Carlson coming in and filling a hole for us at 133 in that second dual, he came out and had a nice pin, I was really happy with his effort.”
