UNI wrestlers get first conference win

DEKALB, Ill. – The UNI wrestling team snagged its first MAC win beating Northern Illinois, 24-12 Friday night.

The Panthers only gave up four weight classes to improve to 2-4 overall, 1-2 in the MAC.

Jake Koethe knocked off his second top-20 opponent of the year to spark UNI. As the lead-off wrestler of the dual, his decision over No. 15 Steve Bleise put the Panthers up 3-0 over the Huskies.

Koethe led the entire match and put Bleise on his back just as the whistle blew, but he had to settle for the 8-4 decision.

Koethe beat No. 17 Anthony Abidin of Nebraska at the Midlands Championships last week.
