Wrestling: No. 8 Huskers fall to No. 1 Penn State

In a dual where the top-ranked Nittany Lions sent out three backups, No. 8 Nebraska was unable to take advantage in a 21-13 dual loss on the road at Penn State.

After falling short against No. 3 Michigan on Friday night at home, Nebraska hit the road to test itself against the best team in the country, falling short once again.

With defending NCAA Champion Carter Starocci at 174, No. 2 Max Dean at 197, and No. 10 Brady Berge at 165 pounds all sitting out this dual for Penn State, Nebraska was able to pick up four wins out of its top wrestlers but couldn’t pull the needed upsets to edge Penn State.
