    Nebraska tops Michigan, Studebaker joins 100-win club

    LINCOLN, Neb. -- Tied 15-15 after seven matches, No. 5 Nebraska (9-1, 3-1 Big Ten) won each of the last three in a 29-15 victory over No. 13 Michigan during the Tumble N Rumble event at the Devaney Center on Sunday afternoon.

    During the final three bouts, No. 3 TJ Dudley (184) and No. 15 Collin Jensen earned bonus points, while No. 7 Aaron Studebaker (197) picked up his 100th career win. Dudley, a two-time All-American, pinned Ernest Battaglia in 1:06. Jensen won by technical fall over Dan Perry, 17-2, in the final match of the dual.

    Studebaker became the 26th wrestler to win 100 career matches at Nebraska with his 2-0 decision over Jackson Striggow. The milestone marked three consecutive weekends where Huskers picked up their 100th career wins. Dudley (184) accomplished the feat at the Midlands Championships (Dec. 29-30), while Montoya, who spent his freshman season at Campbell, reached the milestone last weekend against Penn State.

    Nebraska put six points on the board after the first match with No. 5 Tim Lambert's win by forfeit at 125 pounds. No. 11 Colton McCrystal (141) and No. 3 Tyler Berger (157) also collected victories before NU's late surge. McCrystal topped Sal Profaci by a 7-4 decision, while Berger pinned No. 10 Brian Murphy in 5:25.

    Michigan managed victories at 133, 149, 165 and 174 pounds. No. 3 Eric Montoya (133) suffered his first loss of the season after an 18-0 start when he fell to No. 8 Stevan Micic, 13-7. Micah Barnes (174) went to sudden victory with No. 8 Myles Amine, but the Wolverine took him down for a 4-2 triumph.

    The Huskers return to action next weekend when they face Minnesota on Friday, Jan. 20 in Minneapolis, Minn., starting at 7 p.m. (CT).
