    Nebraska cruises to victory over Wyoming

    Laramie, Wyo. -- The No. 7 Nebraska wrestling team (2-0) finished its weekend with a 33-8 triumph over Wyoming at UniWyo Sports Complex on Sunday evening.

    Junior Colton McCrystal, the No. 15-ranked wrestler at 141 pounds, knocked off No. 4 Bryce Meredith by a 6-2 decision to highlight NU's trip to Laramie. McCrystal trailed Meredith 1-0 after two periods, but the Husker rolled the Cowboy on his back in the third period to earn four nearfall points and the win.

    Five Huskers added bonus points, including No. 9 Tim Lambert (125), who pinned Gunnar Woodburn in 3:18. Lambert accounted for 11 team points during the two Husker duals this weekend, as he won by technical fall against West Virginia on Friday night.

    No. 15 Collin Jensen (HWT) and No. 4 Eric Montoya (133) each won by technical fall during a span of seven straight bouts won by the Big Red. Jensen defeated Sam Eagan, 16-0, in the first period, while Montoya downed Ronald Stevens, 17-2, in the second period.

    No. 4 TJ Dudley (184) and No. 6 Aaron Studebaker (197) each notched major decisions after the team score was tied 3-3 through two matches. Dudley took down Luke Paine, 18-4, while Studebaker defeated Cody Vigoren, 14-3.

    No. 17 Micah Barnes (174) was tied with Kyle Pope entering the third period, but rode the Cowboy for the entire two minutes to pick up the riding time point and a 7-6 win. In the final match of the evening, No. 8 Tyler Berger (157) downed Archie Colgan, 5-2, with the help of a late takedown.

    NU suffered losses at 165 and 149 pounds. In the opening bout, Dustin Williams (165) lost in sudden victory, 3-1. At 149 pounds, Jordan Shearer lost by technical fall to Cole Mendenhall.

    The Huskers return to action on Saturday, Dec. 3 with a tripleheader at NU Coliseum, beginning at 10 a.m. (CT). NU will host Michigan State (10 a.m.), Drexel (Noon) and Princeton (2 p.m.).
