Husker wrestlers finish 4th

The No. 4 Nebraska wrestlers lost two duals on Sunday to finish fourth at the NWCA National Duals in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
The Huskers (8-2) suffered their first loss of the season with a 22-11 defeat by No. 1 Iowa in the morning’s semifinals and lost to No. 2 Iowa State by just one point in the consolation finals, 20-19. 
NU won three matches against the Hawkeyes, with Jordan Burroughs colleting the Huskers single bonus-point win. The Hawkeyes were able to take close matches from the Huskers, winning three matches by less than three points each, to take the dual victory. 
In the consolation finals, Nebraska almost came back to beat Iowa State.  For more on the matches, click here.
