MINOT, N.D. – Minot State's Nina Sandoval and Madison Parson each picked up a win by pin on the day, and the Minot State women's wrestling team added five other victories as they came close to topping in-state rival Jamestown on Saturday in a tri-dual at the MSU Dome.

Heading into the final match of their dual against the Jimmies trailed 18-15, the Beavers bid for the win came up just short as Jamestown scored a 23-15 victory in the dual. Minot State also fell to No. 5-ranked Augsburg 29-10.

Sandoval provided two wins on the day, including a pin with 30 seconds left in the first period over Madison Horn from Augsburg in an extra match. Sandoval also earned a win by forfeit at 155 pounds against Jamestown.

Parson added the other win by pin, also in an extra match, as she pinned Savanah Ruiz of Augsburg with 1:36 left in the opening round of their match.

Jazmin Gorder added two more wins, both by forfeit at 123 pounds for the Beavers, one each against Jamestown and Augsburg, and Zoe Desloges added a win by forfeit at 116 pounds against Augsburg.

The final win of the day went to Minot State's Taylor Cormier at 170 pounds against Jamestown. Cormier, a junior on the Minot State women's golf team, stepped in to help out the women's wrestling program by competing to give the Beavers enough competitors to qualify for the Regional Championship in Colorado in February.

With their home slate done, the first-year Minot State women's wrestling team competes at one more tournament, the Grand View Open in Iowa next Saturday, before heading to Regionals on Feb. 18-19.
