As the match returned to the top of the lineup, the Huskers slowly began to close in on Missouri's 13-10 lead.
After an 11-6 loss by freshman Eric Wilson (Centennial, Colo.) at 125 pounds, the Tigers found themselves tied at 13 entering the last three matches of the night. With a narrow victory at 133 pounds, the Huskers pulled ahead by three and took their first lead of the night.
