In a dual that lived up to the hype, the Huskers finally got things done against an elite team.
The sixth-ranked Nebraska wrestling team (7-3, 2-3 Big Ten) knocked off No. 3 Ohio State (9-3, 5-2) 19-14 Sunday afternoon at the Devaney Sports Center.
Much like Nebraska’s previous duals against top competition (Iowa and Penn State, namely), this dual came down to some late flourishes, but this time the Huskers came out on top in just enough of them to grab the narrow win.
Combined with the late-match heroics, Nebraska also used a gutty performance by hobbled senior Isaiah White to close the dual out, giving the Huskers a much-needed conference win heading into the season’s homestretch.
