No. 4 Nebraska Wrestling Tops Campbell, No. 25 North Carolina

Nebraska wrestling had two matches at two locations Friday. The Huskers are leaving the Tar Heel State with a pair of victories.

No. 4 Nebraska (3-0) beat Campbell (1-3) 40-6 in Buies Creek, North Carolina. The Big Red then traveled to Chapel Hill (2-1) to beat No. 25 North Carolina 34-3.

The match against Campbell took place, in part, at Jim Perry Stadium, the school’s baseball field. The “Dual on the Diamond” was the first outdoor dual for the Huskers in program history.

Only the first three matches were outside. Conditions on the mat led to a relocation of the rest of the matches indoors to the Carter Gym. At that point, Campbell led 6-5.

But Nebraska would not lose another match, scoring 40 unanswered to take the win.

After a roughly one-hour trip to face the Tar Heels, the Huskers got on the board first and never looked back. NU got wins from nine wresters.

Heavyweight Harley Andrews led the Big Red in dual points, claiming a combined 11 points for the team.

Nebraska is next off to Annapolis, Md., for the Navy Classic on Nov. 23 to defend its first-place 2023-24 finish. Bouts are slated to start at 9 a.m. CST and will be streamed via FloWrestling.
