James Szymanski opened the dual with a 5-3 win over Mitch Maginnis at 125 pounds. No. 19 Zach Sherman made it 6-0 in favor of UNC with a 3-1 sudden victory win over Zak Hensley at 133.
No. 8 Chad Red Jr. got Nebraska (2-2) back in it with a 16-1 tech fall at 149, but the Tar Heels got back-to-back bonus point wins in the next two bouts to reclaim control.
Heilmann upped his record to 14-1 and continued the hot start to his redshirt senior campaingn with a 13-4 major over McCrystal. Leading 3-2 after the opening period, Heilmann dominated the second and continued to put the pressure on McCrystal, working for the major in the final two minutes. Monday then delivered the exclamation point with a pin at 1:31 in the first period to put Carolina up 16-5. The redshirt freshman avenged a 7-5 loss to Berger in Las Vegas earlier this month in emphatic fashion for his third pin of the year. All six of his victories so far this season have been on the bonus point variety.
Nebraska took three straight bouts to inch within 16-14 in the team score before the Tar Heel heavyweights sealed the victory. Danny Chaid led wire to wire in a 6-2 decision over Eric Schultz at 197 before Cory Daniel topped David Jensen 3-2 at 285 to close out the dual.
The 22-14 win was a complete reversal from last year's 30-6 loss to the Huskers in Chapel Hill. Carolina will look to extend its winning streak to three Monday night when the Tar Heels visit No. 15 Northern Iowa at 8 p.m. ET.
