KOST SUCCESS ON MAT AS REDSHIRT
Redshirt freshman Kolby Kost took home Augustana’s lone win of the night in its 27-3 loss to the defending national champion and No. 1 ranked St. Cloud State Huskies.
Kost’s dramatic overtime victory came in the 184 pound bout against No. 2 ranked Tyree Overton. Kost took Overton down in the second period to take a 4-2 lead and after a reversal in the third period, Kost escaped to regain the lead once more, 5-4. A penalty point put Kost up by two.
However Overton took him down as time expired to send the match into overtime. Once overtime started, the redshirt-freshman wasted no time, took a shot, gained control of his opponents legs and finished the takedown for an 8-6 victory.
The NCAA Division 2 Super Regions were this past weekend. Kolby took 5th place and went 3-2 with a pin, tech fall, and 12-5 decision. Augustana finished as 3rd as a team.
Kolby is grandson of Francis and Janet Lhotak of Wagner and Jerry and Sharon Kost of Scotland. Parents Martie and Jodi Kost Rapid City.
