Josiah Crandall was the top performer for the Northland men's wrestling Saturday with a fifth-place finish at 125 pounds at the Jim Fox Invitational. The event was hosted by the University of Dubuque.
Crandall bounced back from a tough opening-round loss by fall to Dylan Clifford of the University of Chicago with a win by fall over Eduardo Tostado of the University of Wisconsin-Plattville. Crandall was in on three single leg shots in the opening period but was unable to score against Matt Perez of Chicago in their consolation semifinal bout.

Crandall, meanwhile bounced back from the consolation quarterfinal loss with a solid 8-5 win over Wisconsin-Plattville's JJ Poarch.
