After two very close periods, No. 20 Ryan Taylor turned up the heat on NDSU's Kyle Gliva and recorded a pin at 6:13. Taylor registered his fifth win of the season since moving up to the 133 lbs. weight class.
"Today was a good day for Wisconsin wrestling," Taylor said. "I didn't move my feet well today but I did keep my poise and really pushed the pace in the third period.
"We also made some big jumps as a team with a lot of guys going on the attack right off the bat. We left a few matches out there that we can use to build toward March as a team."
After trailing 5-2 after the second period, Jesse Thielke pivoted a comeback with a forced stall and hard takedown to go up 7-5 over No. 20 Mitch Bengston. The win was Thielke's first victory of the season.
Jarod Donar and No. 6 Isaac Jordan logged back-to-back major decisions to pull the Wisconsin score up, 16-6. Frank Cousins defeated his first ranked opponent of the season with a 4-1 decision over No. 14 Kurtis Julson.
No. 12 Timmy McCall posted a 6-3 decision over Tommy Petersen, while No. 6 Connor Medbery tallied a 4-0 decision over Evan Knutson to clinch the dual for the Badgers.
In his second start of the season, Johnny Jimenez fell to No. 12 Josh Rodriguez at 125 lbs. after a 9-6 decision. North Dakota State's Clay Ream bested Andrew Crone with an 8-7 win, while No. 14 Hayden Zillmer edged No. 20 Ricky Robertson with an 8-7 decision to give NDSU its last points of the dual.
UW is back in action at home against Indiana at the UW Field House on Dec. 11 at 7 p.m.
