Montoya, Wilson finish seasons with wins at NCAAs

A pair of Husker wrestlers ended the season on a high note at the NCAA Championships on Saturday in New York.

Montoya earned a 7-4 win against Penn State's Jordan Conaway to take fifth place at 133 pounds. The NU junior trailed 4-2 entering the final period, but gained the edge with near-fall points to beat the fifth-seeded Conaway.

Wilson finished his collegiate career with a 4-2 win against Rutgers' Anthony Perrotti in the seventh-place match at 165 pounds. Wilson, who finished his NU career with 94 wins, notched All-American honors for the first time by going 4-2 in New York.
