    Nebraska Omaha puts beating on Augustana

    No. 2 ranked University of Nebraska at Omaha reeled off seven straight wins, including three pins, to cruise to a 43-3 North Central Conference dual meet win over Augustana College Wednesday night in front of 875 at Lee & Helene Sapp Fieldhouse.

    The victory, in the final NCC dual match ever for the Mavericks, pushed UNO to 8-2 on the season, while the Vikings fell to 4-6.

    UNO got an opening pin from No. 1-ranked 125-pounder Cody Garcia in just 1:49 over Al Merger to start the rout. After the Vikings defaulted at 133, Sim Bribieseca of UNO managed an escape early in the third period for a 3-2 win over Jay Sherer.

    No. 1-ranked Todd Meneely, at 149, then scored a fall in 5:19 over Mike Long. Henry Wahle and No. 3-ranked Aaron Denson followed with 7-0 and 10-0 decisions to clinch the victory for the Mavericks. No. 4-ranked Ross Taplin followed with UNO's third pin of the night at 174 and second-ranked Brent Pankoke scored the final six points of the match in a 10-6 win over Beau Severtson at 184.

    The Vikings, who forfeited matches at 133 and heavyweight, got their lone win at 197 when No. 4-ranked Ty Copsey defeated Nick Edmonds, 9-2.

    UNO is idle until closing its dual season with a non-conference home match against NCAA Division I Northern Iowa on Feb. 21 at 7 p.m.
