BROOKINGS, S.D. - The Jacks dropped only one match on Saturday afternoon, as they took care of business against the Buffalo Bulls, 36-3.

The dual started at 125 pounds as Brady Roark took on Zac Belverio. Roark took his time in the first period but struck late, scoring a takedown and a four-point near fall on his way to a 9-1 major decision over Belverio, giving the Jacks a 4-0 lead, right out of the gates.

Liam Neitzel made his dual debut for the Jacks going up against Buffalo's Gianni Silvestri. Both wrestlers worked in their positions for most of the match before Neitzel finally secured a takedown late in the third period to score a win in the home opener over Silvestri by decision, 4-2.

The Jacks dropped their only match of the night at 141 pounds as Mason Rohr scored a decision win over Logan Swensen, 4-3, scoring a takedown in the first period and stifling Swensen's offense for the remaining periods.

Colin Dupill battled with Aaron Lanster at 149 pounds. Dupill came out shooting and scored a takedown in the first, but Lanster battled back. After a locked-hands call on Lanster and a Dupill escape, Lanster went to work and secured a takedown on Dupill, keeping him down for the rest of the period. A reversal by Lanster in the third period put Dupill on his heels, but he responded with a late takedown to secure a decision, 9-5.

Cael Swensen returned to First Bank & Trust Arena and went on a mission to pick ankles. Swensen secured a takedown in all three periods and kept his opponent, Sam Ewing on the ground as he wrapped a major decision with over three minutes of ride time, 12-1. The Jacks were up 14-3 over the Bulls at the break.

The Jacks came out of the break with a fire lit under them as they rattled off two consecutive tech falls at 165 and 174 pounds. Jacob Herm secured a win over Brady Unger, racking up six total takedowns as he put together a dominant win over Unger, 19-4. Drake Rhodes made his return to the mat, taking on Cole Dunham. Rhodes started a little slow but rattled off four takedowns in the last period to secure his tech fall, 20-5.

Brock Fettig matched up with Connor Scuilla at 184 pounds. The redshirt senior from Bismarck scored four takedowns over Scuilla in a dominant win, taking the match 14-2.

Thomas Dineen marked another Jackrabbit return to First Bank & Trust Arena, taking on Connor Jacobs. With a 7-0 lead heading into the third period, Dineen went on the offensive, rattling off takedown after takedown and ultimately coming away with a 19-4 tech fall for the Jacks.

Tyson Martin closed the show for the Jacks against Magnus Bibla. After a slow opening period, Martin was able to strike on an upper body takedown that proved to be the difference in the match, as he held on for a 4-3 decision, his first collegiate win.
