After a setback at 141 pounds, Ryan Davis picked up his first career dual win for Nebraska in dominant fashion, defeating George Hickman by technical fall, 17-1. After building a commanding 12-1 lead in the first three minutes of the match, Davis started the second period down and scored a reversal 18 seconds into the second frame. A near-fall 11 seconds later clinched the technical fall victory for Davis, who was awarded a bonus point for his 2:20 advantage in riding time.
"As I go along, I want to get better," Davis said. "I wanted to get into the flow of things in a dual match tonight."
Chris Oliver followed with a hard-fought win by fall over Aric Fuhrman at 157 pounds. Oliver took control of the match in the third period, outscoring Fuhrman, 6-1, before earning the pin with 22 seconds to go in the final period.
"I tried to feel my way through the first two periods tonight," Oliver said. "I wanted to try some things in the first two periods, and I happened to get him on his back and get the pin in the third."
At 165 pounds, Marc Harwood earned a major decision win over Frank Beasley, 16-5. Harwood took the lead six seconds into the match with a takedown, and had an 8-2 lead 1:13 into the first period after three takedowns and a two-point near fall.
Nebraska saw its lead increase to 21-3 in the team race after sixth-ranked Jacob Klein turned a takedown 31 seconds into his match with Andrew Jordan into a win by fall. Klein needed just a minute to earn his first pin of the season.
Brandon Browne followed at 184 pounds with a 6-5 triumph over Nate Shirk. With the match tied at three at the start of the third period, Browne earned an escape one second into the period, then a take down with 1:25 to go in the match to give him a 6-3 lead.
A win by fall by Jesse Hasseman at 197 pounds broke Nebraska's five-match winning streak in the dual, but a 6-4 win by 14th-ranked Jon May at heavyweight over Mike Spaid clinched the dual for the Huskers. In the last two matches, NU suffered a setback at 125 pounds before Patrick Aleksanyan scored four takedowns on his way to an 8-3 win over Rick Donald to wrap up the match.
The next action for Nebraska (5-2) will be a home dual with Virginia Tech on Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Devaney Center Track.
