Jacob Anderson, freshman of Central City, 149-pounds, came back with a 2:31 pin, after the team gave up the 141-pound match.

CJ Clark, sophomore of Rapid City, S.D., 157-pounds, followed Anderson’s win with an 8-6 overtime victory.

The Eagles dropped another matched at 165 pounds, but Caleb Copeland, freshman of Bennett, Colo., 174-pounds, and Jordan DeBus, senior of Mitchell, 184-pounds, came back to win each of their matches by decision.

This was the end of the wins for Chadron State, but it was enough to secure a 25-15 win over the Blue Hawks.
