    Browne named Big 12 Wrestler of the Week

    LINCOLN -- The Big 12 Conference announced Monday that Husker junior Brandon Browne has been named the Big 12 Wrestler of the Week for his performances in competitions from Jan. 14-20. Browne defeated second-ranked Brandon Mason of Oklahoma State 2-1 last Sunday as the Huskers topped the Cowboys 22-13 in Oklahoma City, Okla. Browne, a native of Plattsmouth, Neb., is currently ranked sixth at 174 pounds.

    Browne felt out Mason in the first period until he capitalized on an opening and scored a takedown with eight seconds left. Mason chose down in the second and scored an escape 25 seconds in. Browne chose the neutral position in the third, but neither was able to score a point as Browne held on for the 2-1 decision. Browne's win broke a 10-10 tie as the Huskers never relinquished the lead after Browne's win.

    Browne improves to 24-2 on the year, including 9-1 in duals. Browne has scored 35 dual points for NU while allowing just three. He is second on the squad in bonus-point wins with seven major decisions, four technical falls and two pins.

    Browne and the Huskers resume action on Feb. 2 as NU host No. 11 Missouri for Alumni Night at 7 p.m. in the NU Coliseum.
