Nothern, a freshman, won the 133-pound weight class at the Cornell Matman Invitational. He opened the Tournament with a pin of Central’s Nick Johnson (3:59) then posted three straight decisions – 6-0 over Wartburg’s Sean White, 9-4 over St. John’s (Minn.) Tim Thompson and 8-5 over William Penn’s Nick Cucciniello – to get into the Championship match. In the final, unranked Nothern defeated the fourth-ranked Jestin Hulegaard of Buena Vista on riding time criteria following a 5-5 double-overtime tie.
