Wrestling: Lovett into NCAA Finals, Huskers 5th in Team Race

After a good start on Day 1, the Nebraska wrestling team put together another solid day to keep within striking distance of a team trophy at the NCAA Championships in Detroit.

Nebraska’s 10-seed Ridge Lovett made a run on Friday that puts him in Saturday night’s final against one of the best wrestlers in the country, regardless of weight class.

Four other Huskers secured All-American status on Friday in advancing to the final day of the NCAA tournament.

Nebraska currently sits in fifth place with 54 team points, and with the top four teams receiving trophies, the Huskers are in position to possibly get one.
