The Huskers walked into the top team’s house and put it on them like nobody has all season. It just wasn’t enough to grab a season-altering win.
The seventh-ranked Husker wrestling team traveled to Carver-Hawkeye Arena Saturday night and looked to be on the verge of something great against No. 1-ranked Iowa, only to fall 26-6. And don’t let that final score fool you, Nebraska had a chance to take down what could end up being an all-time great wrestling team.
Facing an Iowa team that boasts a top-10 wrestler at every single weight class, Nebraska gave the Hawkeyes everything they could handle in just about every match, dropping a handful of matchups that looked like they could have gone either way.
