Dwyer picked up where he left off two days ago, pinning his second straight opponent with a fall in 1 minute, 43 seconds over Patrick Prentice. The senior controlled Prentice from the opening whistle with three near falls and a takedown in the first 68 seconds before nailing down his eighth pin of the season, including his sixth in the first period.
Lane followed Dwyer’s lead with a quick pin of his own in 2 minutes, 4 seconds over Justin Tuell to give Nebraska a 27-3 lead after six matches. Due to injuries on both squads, only seven matches were contested. Northern Colorado forfeited two bouts (184 and 197), while Nebraska gave up six points at 149 pounds.
Freshman David Klingsheim (125) turned in possibly the most satisfying victory of the day when he defeated three-time NCAA qualifier Tony Mustari by a 6-1 decision. The two fought to a scoreless first period until Klingsheim produced a two-point near fall midway through the second frame and added four points in the final period to come away with his second straight dual win.
Following Klingsheim’s win, freshman C.J. Napier (133) exploded with a five-point third period for a 10-2 major decision over Casey Cruz. Both Klingsheim and Napier have won back-to-back matches after each losing their previous four.
The lightweight duo also led four Husker newcomers to victories on Sunday. Redshirt freshman Tyler Koehn (157) opened the dual with a 10-3 decision over Rocco DePaolo, while junior college transfer Mike Koehnlein (141) capped the match in a 6-2 decision against Kenny Hashimoto.
The match will be a “Pepsi Pack the House” night, with all general admission tickets and 24-ounce Pepsi products just $1. It will also mark Senior Night for the Huskers, recognizing Craig Brester, Stephen Dwyer and Levi Wofford in their final home competition.
