MSUM improved to 6-8 overall and 3-3 in the NSIC with the win, while Minot State fell to 1-12 overall and 0-6 in the league.
Freshman Blake Bosch, junior Shawn Porter, junior Conner Monk and junior Gerad Fugleberg all earned wins by fall for the Dragons. MSUM lost four matches on the night, but all were by decision and by two points or less.

Senior Connor MacGregor picked up his second win of the week with a 6-0 win over Minot State's Zachary Cummings at 141 as the Dragons took a 12-0 lead.
Minot State got on the board with a win at 149. Junior Jon Wilson battled Dragon freshman Garret Hoffner tough for three periods. The score was deadlocked at 8-8, but because Wilson had a riding time he prevailed 9-8 to put Minot State on the board.
The Beavers cut the lead to 12-6 as Ricard Avakovs edged Dragon redshirt freshman Dan Murakami, 6-5 at 157.
MSUM regained the momentum at 165 as junior Shawn Porter recorded a win by fall. Porter led the whole way and got Don Williams to his back in the third period, finishing the fall in 6:17 to push MSUM's lead to 18-6.
The Dragons' third fall of the night came at 174 pounds when senior Conner Monk took control in the second period against Tiger Paasch. Monk built an 11-6 lead and then finished the fall in 6:00 to give MSUM a comfortable 24-6 advantage.
Minot State came back within decision wins at 184 and 197 to cut the Dragon lead to 24-12, but Fugleberg put an emphatic finish on the match with a win by fall in 4:51 to clinch a 30-12 Dragon win.
