    Nebraska-Kearney's Usman wins NCAA title at 174

    Kearney, Neb. -- Nebraska-Kearney senior Marty Usman recorded a takedown with around 15 seconds left to beat Wisconsin-Parkside's Luke Rynish, 5-3, in the 174 lbs. final at the 2010 NCAA Championships Saturday night in Omaha.

    UNK and Upper Iowa will finish in a tie for third; UNO will win a second straight national title and Augustana will be this year's runner up.

    Finishing his season at 44-1, Usman (Arlington, Texas) recorded an early takedown to grab the lead. With the third period clock winding down, Usman was called for stalling for the second time, tying the match.

    However, literally seconds after that, he took the 4th-ranked Rynish down. Now a three-time All-Amerian, Usman beat Rynish twice this year and twice last year.

    Other All-Americans for the Lopers include T.J. Hepburn (3rd/149 lbs.), Derek Ross (3rd/184 lbs.), Taylor May (6th/165 lbs.) and Justin McKain (6th/197 lbs.).
