    Mary gets first NSIC win, tops Northern State

    Bismarck, N.D. -- Despite missing their top wrestler in regionally ranked Trevor Johnson, the University of Mary (2-8, 1-5 NSIC) picked up their first Northern Sun win of the season over Northern State University (4-11, 0-7 NSIC). U-Mary defeated NSU by a score of 25-19 in its final home dual of the season Thursday night.

    John Devito highlighted the Marauders effort with an 11-2 major decision over the Wolves Blake Lundgren at 174.

    U-Mary got ahead early as NSU left 125 and 133 open giving the Marauders a 12-point cushion. The Wolves won the next three matches, before forfeiting again at 165.

    Northern State elected to bump its 165 up to 174 to take on Devito. Devito made the Wolves pay picking up to takedowns in the first period jumping to a 4-1 lead. The Marauders junior pulled away in the second with a reversal and a nearfall, before eventually winning 11-2.

    After losing at 184, U-Mary's most entertaining match of the night came at 197 as Tom Devito took on Joe Gomez, who is ranked sixth in the region. Devito managed an escape in the first period and led until Gomez was able to escape in the third sending the match into overtime. After no score in the first overtime, Gomez and Devito exchanged escapes in the second and third.

    With time winding down in the final overtime, Gomez shot Devito's legs and ultimately managed a takedown to come away with a 4-2 win.

    Jonah Westbury rounded out the scoring for the Marauders with a 4-1 win over Tony Reurink. Westbury recorded an escape in the second and third periods, before icing the match with a takedown in the third.

    U-Mary will be back in action as it takes on Minnesota State University Moorhead on Saturday at 4 p.m.
