Is it better to come off a tight win or a laugher going into an important match? Do you carry momentum and confidence from a blow out? Are you drained from an emotional contest?
Rutgers and Nebraska came into their match at the Devaney Center from different angles. The Knights ran over Hofstra (7-7, 2-2 EIWA) Friday night at the RAC while the No. 18 Huskers took a close criteria win on the road at No. 20 Northwestern.
Nebraska had to win the last bout of the night at Northwestern at 184. Seventh-ranked Taylor Venz and Mitch Sliga wrestled to a scoreless tie through two periods before Sliga escaped from Venz’s grasp early in the third period to take a 1-0 lead.
