In the most exciting match of the night, DeShazer (Wichita, Kan./Wichita West) executed a pin over Bobby Joyce with just 20 seconds left to earn six points for the Huskies at 133 pounds. DeShazer led 10-5 at the time of the fall, but was in bottom position after a takedown by Joyce. In an attempt to escape, DeShazer rolled Joyce over and stuck him to the mat to give NIU a 6-3 lead.

"Tristen is on a roll with his pins, that's seven on the year," Grant noted.
