College wrestling: Alber helps UNI pull out 21-19 dual win over NDSU

Alber's 19-4 technical fall over Sam Hampton at 141 brought a capacity crowd to its feet in excitement and allowed them to head home happy after watching a dual that had five-lead changes, including the last.

Panther head coach Doug Schwab was not in nearly as joyous of a mood after watching what he felt was another uneven performance that followed the Panthers' 30-13 loss at Cornell on Friday.

"Obviously, I believe in my team so I don't think it should come down to that, should come down to the last match," Schwab said.
