BACK POINTS ALL-AMERICAN BERGER RETURNS LOOKING FOR MORE Nebraska s lone returning All-American Tyler Berger returns as a junior looking to take the next step and join an elite list of multiple-time All-Americans. The 157-pounder took fifth at the NCAA Championships last season, continuing a string of success at that weight in recent years, as the Huskers have had an All-American at 157 in five of the past seven seasons. Berger, from Prineville, Ore., was Nebraska s wins leader with 36 last season, giving him a career record of 60-19 to put him on pace to be the next member of Nebraska s 100-win club. Of Berger s six losses last season, five of them came to either Jason Nolf of Penn State or Michael Kemerer of Iowa, the top two seeds at the NCAA Championships. Berger, a two-time NCAA Championships qualifier, finished third at the Big Ten Championships last season. Nebraska also returns an NCAA qualifier in senior Colton McCrystal, who advanced to the Round of 12 at 141 pounds last year. He also finished third at the Big Ten Championships, while racking up the second-most wins on the team with 34, with 17 coming by bonus points. McCrystal is set to compete at 149 this season. HUSKERS SEEK NEW CONTRIBUTORS With six starters from a season ago lost to graduation, including three All-Americans, Nebraska s 10 weight classes will look dramatically different from 2016-17. With just two NCAA qualifiers returning from last year s team, the Huskers will be evaluating each weight class in practice, wrestleoffs, open tournaments and duals as the season moves along. At 141 pounds, Chad Red Jr., a highly touted recruit who had a strong redshirt season, should get the call, while Isaiah White, who transferred to Nebraska in the offseason after winning the Division II national championship in 2017, is the favorite to be Nebraska s starter at 165. Nebraska will also look to replace starters at the two lowest weight classes, 125 and 133, and the four upper weights, 174, 184, 197 and heavyweight. Redshirt freshmen Taylor Venz and Eric Schultz look to have the inside track at 184 and 197 pounds, but open competition at each weight class will be productive for the Huskers as the season gets started. HUSKERS BRING BACK DUAL EXPERIENCE Nebraska returns eight wrestlers with dual experience this season, including All-American Tyler Berger and NCAA qualifier Colton McCrystal. Both Berger and McCrystal racked up over 30 wins for the Huskers in 2017. Collin Purinton (149), Jordan Shearer (149), Justin Arthur (157), Dustin Williams (165), Eric Engler (174) and David Jensen (HWT) each saw action in dual meets for the Huskers last season, and look to contribute again this year. In addition to Berger and McCrystal, Purinton and Williams were starters for NU at the Big Ten Championships last season. HUSKERS WORKING THROUGH TOUGH SCHEDULE Nebraska will face seven teams in dual action in 2017-18 that finished in the top 25 at the NCAA Championships last season: Michigan (10th), Illinois (11th), Wisconsin (13th), NC State (17th), Rutgers (19th), Wyoming (21st) and Stanford (24th). In addition, NU has seven teams on the slate currently ranked in the USA Today/NWCA Coaches Poll: Michigan (4th), NC State (7th), Rutgers (11th), Illinois (14th), Wisconsin (18th), Stanford (21st) and Purdue (22nd).

HWT: Hunter Mullins (RFr. - Puyallup, Wash.) LAST TIME OUT WARREN WILLIAMSON/DAKTRONICS OPEN Nov. 4, 2017, Brookings, S.D. Five Huskers won titles, while two others finished second at the Daktronics Open earlier this month. At 141 pounds, Chad Red Jr. defeated No. 6 Tommy Thorn of Minnesota in sudden victory, and added a fall in the second round as he won the tournament for the second consecutive year. Colton McCrystal won all four of his matches by bonus points at 149 pounds, defeating No. 7 Steve Bleise of Minnesota after two tiebreaker periods to earn a 11:00 fall. Tyler Berger defeated a pair of ranked opponents, including No. 10 Jake Short of Minnesota in the final by decision. Berger also added a pair of major decisions in the first two rounds. At 174 pounds, freshman Mikey Labriola earned technical falls in the first two rounds, and defeated two ranked opponents, including No. 14 David Kocer of South Dakota State in the final. Redshirt freshman Taylor Venz had arguably the most impressive performance of the day, earning all four wins by bonus points, including three pins. Venz defeated Brady Ayers of South Dakota State by technical fall, 17-1 in the final. Isaiah White (165) and Eric Schultz (197) both took second, dropping decisions to top-11 opponents in the finals. Kris Williams (125), Brian Peska (133) and Collin Purinton (149) each finished second, while Mitchell Maginnis (125), Luke Weber (149) and David Jensen (HWT) each took home fourth-place finishes. ALL-TIME VS. WYOMING Nebraska leads the all-time series against Wyoming, 36-14-0. The Huskers have won the last seven matchups, and 28 of the last 29 dating back to 1987. LAST MEETING: NU 33, UW 8 Nov. 20, 2016, Laramie, Wyo. No. 15 Colton McCrystal knocked off No. 4 Bryce Meredith by a 6-2 decision to highlight NU s trip to Laramie. McCrystal trailed Meredith 1-0 after two periods, but the Husker rolled the Cowboy on his back in the third period to earn four nearfall points and the win. Five Huskers added bonus points, including No. 9 Tim Lambert (125), who pinned Gunnar Woodburn in 3:18. No. 15 Collin Jensen (HWT) and No. 4 Eric Montoya (133) each won by technical fall during a span of seven straight bouts won by the Big Red. Jensen defeated Sam Eagan, 16-0, in the first period, while Montoya downed Ronald Stevens, 17-2, in the second period. No. 4 TJ Dudley (184) and No. 6 Aaron Studebaker (197) each notched major decisions after the team score was tied 3-3 through two matches. Dudley took down Luke Paine, 18-4, while Studebaker defeated Cody Vigoren, 14-3. No. 17 Micah Barnes (174) was tied with Kyle Pope entering the third period, but rode the Cowboy for the entire two minutes to pick up the riding time point and a 7-6 win. In the final match of the evening, No. 8 Tyler Berger (157) downed Archie Colgan, 5-2, with the help of a late takedown. l 4
