Football:

On Saturday, NDSU running back Pat Paschall participated in the 85th annual East-West Shrine Game. He finished as the game’s leading rusher with 33 yards on eight carries. He also caught a pass for eight yards.

Up next for Paschall is the NFL Scouting Combine Feb. 24 through Mar. 1 in Indianapolis.

Paschall finished the season as the No. 1 rusher in the FCS division and is eighth all-time on NDSU’s rushing list.

Wrestling:

The Bison wrestling team has now won its fifth straight duals. Coming off an impressive upset of ranked Boise State, the Herd were in Boston to take on East Stroudsburg and Boston University, then Connecticut to take on Sacred Heart.

In Boston, sophomore Justin Solberg got the Bison off to a good start by winning both his matches by decisions.

Ryan Adams, Vincent Salminen, Tyler Johnson, Drew Ross and Joesph Arthur also won both of their respected matches. Against Sacred Heart the Bison won every bout but one to take the 37-6 victory. The Bison are now 8-4 on the season.

Track and Field:

NDSU finished second place in the Jack Johnson Classic in Minneapolis.

Scoring a 385.5, Eric Stroh, Kevin Jackson, Jesse Morrow and Casey Orgon finished the meet in NDSU’s all-time top 10.

Whitney Carlson also played a big role in the second place finish, winning the pentathlon with 3.697 points. Carlson won the 800-meter run, 60-meter hurdles, and long jump.

Their next meets will be on Saturday at the Iowa State Invitational and Feb. 6 in Lincoln, Neb., for the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational.
