For the second-straight week, bonus points nipped the Northern Iowa wrestling team.
The Panthers hosted No. 3 Nebraska at the West Gym in Cedar Falls on Sunday, and despite pulling a handful of upsets, the Huskers beat Northern Iowa, 23-19.
Like last Sunday’s dual against Northwestern, Northern Iowa (0-2) split the 10 contested matches with Nebraska (4-0). And just like last Sunday’s 24-20 loss to the Wildcats, the Panthers fell short because of those always-crucial bonus points.
