The Huskers jumped out to an early 6-0 lead after Andy Johnson (197) and No. 7 Tucker Lane (HWT) won two close matches to start the dual. Trailing 3-2 entering the third period to Chad Hanke (OSU), Johnson used an escape and a takedown in the third period to go ahead 5-3 and complete the comeback, while Lane used an escape and gained the riding time advantage to put away No. 12 Clayton Jack (OSU), 2-0.
Oregon State battled back to take a 12-6 lead after winning the next four matches all by decision, before redshirt freshman Cody Compton (NU) got the Huskers back on track at 157-pounds. Compton defeated Alex Elder (OSU) by an 8-6 decision to close the Husker deficit to three at 12-9. Compton improved his dual record to 3-0 on the season.
Senior Jordan Burroughs then gave the Huskers the lead in the next match at 165-pounds after he defeated Jon Brascetta (OSU) by technical fall, 26-9 (5:17). The victory marked Burroughs second straight by technical fall and fifth of the season. The Sicklerville, N.J. native now owns a 13-0 record and an 8-0 mark in dual competition.
With the Huskers leading by two points, the Beavers were able to take the lead at the 174-pound match as No. 6 Colby Covington (OSU) defeated Caleb Kolb (NU) by major decision to give Oregon State a two-point advantage.
With Kolb's loss, the dual was left in the hands of sophomore Josh Ihnen (NU). The 8th-ranked wrestler at 184-pounds jumped to an early four-point lead over Brice Arand (NU) and never looked back, cruising to a 6-2 decision to give the Huskers their 17-16 victory.
The Nebraska wrestling team will return to action on Dec. 29-30, when they travel to Evanston, Ill., to participate in the Midlands Wrestling Championships.
