Husker Wrestlers Finding Individual & Team Success 2020, Best Team finish


Venz up in the championship semis, facing Penn State #1 seeded wrestler. White lost to a Penn State #1 wrestler.

Labriola in the consolation bracket coming up shortly.
 
Venz led 4-3; but, big takedown straight to a cradle. Fought it off for a bit, but goes down by fall.
 



Labriola up in the consolations. Schulz up in championship semis. Another Penn State matchup. We hold a 1 point edge over Penn State for 2nd right now. But, they have 8 still going in the championship bracket to our 1.

Jensen also up shortly in the consolations.

Schulz wins 4-3 to head to the championship.

Nebraska back into 2nd (for now, Penn State has too many still wrestling in the championship matches).
 
Jensen wins 6-1. That's it for the main brackets. There are still a few matches in the 9th place brackets (first round losers). Not sure if those score for the team or not?

Standings heading into tomorrow's consolation semifinals and championship matches. All 10 Nebraska wrestlers are still in consolation semifinals except Schulz (going for the championship) and Lovett (wrestling for 7th).

I have to give a shoutout to BTN+. Cameras on each of the 4 matches, so you can choose what to watch. FLO wrestling's website made it easy to see what matches were upcoming for the team.
 




Tomorrow's Matchups (someone may have a better, more organized source than this):

All are consolation semis and will wrestle twice tomorrow for finishes anywhere from 3rd -6th, except 133 and 197 as noted.

Huskers in Second Place After First Two Sessions of Big Ten Championships - University of Nebraska

PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- The fourth-ranked Nebraska wrestling team racked up 102.5 points and sits in second place after the first two sessions of the Big Ten Championships
huskers.com huskers.com

The Huskers' entire lineup advanced to quarterfinal matches and Eric Schultz (197) will compete for an individual title on Sunday afternoon. That means our entire lineup can possibly place in the top 8, out of 14. And, they all could possibly go to the NCAA championships.

Today's matches:

125: Thomson loses to Medley (Michigan) 2-1. Then by fall to Cronin (Ind) at 4:09. Finishes 6th.

133: Lovett beats Silva (Mich), 4-3. Finishes 7th.

141: Red beats Murin (Iowa), 3-1. Wrestles Moran (Wisc) for 3rd shortly.

149: Purington upsets Storr (Mich), 8-3. Wrestles Lee (Minn) for 3rd shortly

157: Robb moves on over Tucker (MSU), forfeit. Wrestle Barone (Ill) for 3rd shortly.

165: White beats Braunagel (Ill), 11-4. Wrestles Smith (OSU) for 3rd shortly.

174: Labriola loses to Lydy (Purdue), 5-3. Will wrestle Skatzka (Minn) for 5th shortly.

184: Venz beats Jordan (OSU), 9-0. Wrestles Assad (Iowa) for 3rd shortly.

197: Schultz will be wrestling Moore (OSU) for the championship on BTN in a while. 141 weight class is just starting on BTN.

285: Jensen lost to Cassiopi (Iowa), 2-0. Will wrestle Traub (OSU) for 5th in a while.


That was a great round for our guys, still holding onto 2nd. With PSU and OSU having more wrestlers than us in the finals, we need our guys to win the final bouts for 3rd and 5th to hold on.

TV announces that Iowa has clinched the championship, so I think we'd be pretty close to clinching 2nd.
