As of Jan 7th: 3 Bison guys are ranked....team is ranked #23
165 - Monk #4
174 - Zillmer #15
Julson is ranked #19 by AWN
IMO, Lehmann will be ranked by the end of the season at 197.
Monk is at #3 now and Zillmer is at #13. If Lehmann can go 2-0 this weekend, I think he will be ranked next week. Does anyone know what happened to Gray at 157?

Jan. 17, 2014 Wrestling
BOISE, Idaho – The North Dakota State Bison wrestling team beat the Boise State Broncos 26-15 in a non-conference dual Friday, Jan. 17, picking up their first win over a ranked opponent this season.
Third-ranked Steven Monk earned the Bison's first pin of the night with four seconds left in the first period at 165 pounds, and redshirt freshman Tyler Lehmann sealed the NDSU victory with a pin at the 1:54 mark in the first period over Boise State's Cody Dixon at 197 pounds.
No. 22 NDSU has won five of its last six duals and improved to 5-3, while Boise State – coming into the match rated No. 21 in the Intermat rankings – fell to 2-4 this season.
After falling behind in the first match, NDSU senior Justin LaValle earned a 16-1 technical fall at 133 pounds over Matt Nader to spark the Bison lineup.
NDSU redshirt freshman Clay Cathey earned a 4-3 decision over Travis Himmelman at 141 pounds and after the Broncos' 149-pounder Chris Castillo scored an 8-4 decision, Bison freshman Nick Olejnik used a reversal in double-overtime to help give the Bison an 11-6 lead heading into Monk's weight class.
Monk won his 12th straight match this season and No.12/13 Hayden Zillmer won 6-2 over Austin Dewey at 174 pounds, extending the NDSU lead to 20-6.
Lehmann capped off the Bison dual by putting the score out of reach with a pin one minute, six seconds left in his match.
