MINOT, N.D. – The Minot State University wrestling team lost 50-0 against the visiting Augustana University on Sunday afternoon.
 
The Vikings earned bonus points in all but two matches. At 141, Jered Sublet too Austin Jordan into overtime while Cody Haugen gave up just one point to Jacob Anderson. Head coach Evan Forde was pleased with how those two did in a dual that proved too tough for the Beavers.
 
"I thought down low we fought pretty hard," said Forde. "Losing in overtime at 141 and losing by one point at 149 against some pretty good kids. We want to come away with wins at those weights and in those matches, but at least guys know, going into the regional tournament, that they can wrestle with those guys and have a chance of picking up some wins."
 
Forde also said his team needs to learn from tonight and not give up as many bonus points the rest of the year. After four wins by fall from Augustana, Forde said he wants his team to take more pride in those situations.
 
Minot State will travel to St. Cloud State on Friday, February 3. The Beavers will compete against the Huskies at 7 p.m.
