Springers Lift Nic To Hard-Fought Mat Victory

Sat., Jan. 16, 1999

Northwest Wyoming won’t soon forget the Springer brothers.

North Idaho’s Justin Springer and his brother Brandon won decisions in the final two matches to rally the Cardinals to a 21-16 non-conference wrestling victory over NW Wyoming on Friday in Missoula, Mont.

Justin earned a 3-1 decision in the 157-pound class, giving NIC three points and an 18-16 lead.

Brandon followed that up with a 6-2 win in the 165-pound class to give the Cardinals a hard-fought victory.

Shaun Williams, the No. 1-ranked community college wrestler in the country in the 125-pound class, picked up the only pin of the match. It took him just 31 seconds.
