CEDAR FALLS -- Josh Alber put on a show late to lift 13th-ranked Northern Iowa to a 21-19 victory over North Dakota State Sunday at the West Gym in the Panthers' first Big 12 Conference dual meet.
Alber's 19-4 technical fall over Sam Hampton at 141 brought a capacity crowd to its feet in excitement after a dual that had five lead changes, including the last one.
UNI head coach Doug Schwab didn't share the crowd's excitement after what he felt was another uneven performance that followed a 30-13 loss at Cornell on Friday.
