FINAL SCORE: Augsburg 33, Wisconsin-Stevens Point 10
LOCATION: Si Melby Hall, Minneapolis

HOW IT HAPPENED
• Augsburg won all six of the competitive matches in the dual, with five wins coming by technical falls. Both teams had two forfeits in the dual-meet portion of the afternoon.
• In the only meeting of ranked wrestlers on the day, Augsburg's Marlynne Deede (JR, Springville, Utah/Springville HS), ranked No. 4 in the latest National Wrestling Coaches Association's NCAA national rankings at 155 pounds, moved up to 170 and dispatched UW-Stevens Point's Jade Herzer, ranked No. 5 at 170, with a 10-0, first-period technical fall. Deede got a takedown and two-point back exposure in quick succession 20 seconds into the bout, then got three takedowns to finish the match at the 1:50 mark. Deede is now 7-1 on the season with six technical falls.
• Making her collegiate season debut after winning world championships at the junior and U-23 levels this summer, Emily Shilson (JR, Maple Grove, Minn./Mounds View HS) was dominant in a 40-second, 10-0 technical fall win over the Pointers' Angelica Torres-Lima at 116 pounds. The top-ranked wrestler nationally at 109, Shilson scored a takedown 13 seconds into the bout, then used a gut wrench to quickly rack up four back exposures and end the action early. Shilson is now 23-0 in her collegiate career, with 13 of those wins coming by technical fall and eight coming by pin. 
• Nina Makem (FY, Shakopee, Minn./Shakopee HS) made an impressive home dual-meet debut, needing just 40 seconds to end her 143-pound match early with the Pointers' Megan Struble in a 12-0 win. Now 8-2 on the season with seven technical falls, Makem dove in on a double-leg for a four-point throw just nine seconds into the action, scored a pair of exposures on a cradle, then ended the match with another four-point move.
• Katie Lange (FY, Sherburn, Minn./Martin County West HS) improved to 8-0 on the season with a 1:16, 10-0 win over Megan Struble at 143 pounds. She opened with a takedown and back exposure to take a 4-0 lead, then claimed another takedown and used a leg lace to convert two back exposures to end the bout. All eight of Lange's wins have been bonus-point triumphs, with five technical falls and three pins.
• Kya Rybachek (SO, Mountain Iron, Minn./Hibbing HS) improved to 4-5 on the season with a 10-0 technical fall win over Morgan Bethea at 130 pounds. Rybachek scored a takedown 75 seconds into the bout, then scored a four-point move on a dive after a quick restart with 1:10 left in the first period. She then used a front headlock throw to convert another four-point move, ending the match.
• Gabby Skidmore (JR, Spooner, Wis./Cumberland HS) improved to 9-2 on the season with a 4-0 victory over the Pointers' Abby Nelson at 123 pounds. Skidmore scored a force-out point for the lone point of the first period, then gained a passivity point and scored a takedown with 1:20 left in the match to gain the victory.
• There were seven exhibition matches following the dual, with four bouts featuring Auggie wrestlers against each other. Faith Tuttle (JR, North St. Paul, Minn./North St. Paul HS) scored a pair of pins at 191 pounds, Destynie Pacheco (JR, El Paso, Texas/Pebble Hills HS) gained a win at 155 and Melissa Jacobs (JR, Belle Plaine, Minn./Belle Plaine HS (Scott West)) scored a pin at 191.
• Mya Velasquez (SO, Santa Maria, Calif./Pioneer Valley HS) scored a 8-3 win over UW-Stevens Point's Addison Young at 136.

FOR THE FOES
• UW-Stevens Point's team points in the dual came on a pair of forfeits in the opening two bouts.
• Megan Struble scored a 10-0, 2:06 technical fall in a 143-pound exhibition, and No. 5-ranked Jade Herzer scored a second-period pin at 170.
