No. 7 N.C. State rallies late to tie match against No. 11 NU, then wins on criteria

No. 7 North Carolina State made a late charge in its wrestling dual against 11th-ranked Nebraska, winning 18-17, by criteria, Sunday in Raleigh, North Carolina.

The Huskers were aiming for weekend sweep in the state after defeating No. 12 North Carolina on Saturday, and held a 17-9 lead entering the final two matches.

But the Wolfpack's Sean Fausz defeated Zeke Moisey 8-2 at 125 pounds, and Tariq Wilson, ranked No. 4 at 133, earned a technical fall win against Tucker Sjomeling, which tied the match at 17-17.

Both Husker (5-2) defeats this season have come via criteria.
