Nebraska wrestlers defeat Wyoming

It was a good weekend in Wyoming, as the Husker wrestling team won both Friday and Saturday. On Friday, No. 7 Nebraska beat the No. 25 Wyoming Cowboys 22-13.

Ranked second in the nation at 157 pounds, senior James Green had a great weekend, dominating his way to five wins on the trip. Friday, he pinned his opponent Archie Colgan within two minutes.

It proved to be a turning point in the meet. The six points from Green's pin put the Huskers up 16-6 against the Cowboys.

While Friday's final score may have been closer than the Huskers would have liked, having a tournament the next day provided a chance for the coaches to work with some of the younger guys.

"We had a couple guys redeem losses today at the tournament, so it's great to have multiple opportunities in the same day to work on coaching between matches," Nebraska assistant coach Jordan Burroughs said.

Green said the players on the team are clicking.

"Everyone was doing well getting to the finals and a lot of guys came out on top because that's what we came for," Green said.

On Saturday, Green was 1 of 8 Huskers to win their respective weight classes at the Cowboy Open tournament. He won all four of his matches by technical fall, outscoring his opponents by a combined 72-9.

Green now has 99 victories at Nebraska, one shy of joining teammate and fellow national No. 2 Robert Kokesh with more than 100 wins, and Green will get his opportunity next Sunday against Maryland. Originally scheduled as a non-conference matchup, it will be the first Big Ten Conference dual of the season, and Maryland's first in the conference.

The seven hour bus ride back to Lincoln wasn't exactly short, but for some guys on the team, it's the preferred method of travel.

"Bus rides are always fun. I like riding the bus better than flying," senior Robert Kokesh said. "You get to collaborate with your teammates more, we played some cards, you know have some fun."

Bus rides definitely don't feel as long when you're winning, and Kokesh has been doing just that. In Wyoming, Kokesh improved his season record to 6-0, with five wins during the weekend. Even though he has been wrestling well enough to win, the two-time All-American feels there is room for improvement.

"Personally, I have a lot of things to work on, guys aren't satisfied with the way we wrestled this weekend so we've just got to keep improving," Kokesh said.

Next on schedule for the Huskers is a Sunday matchup against Maryland at the NU Coliseum located inside the Campus Recreation Center. It will be the lone match at the former home of the team this season. The rest of the wrestling action will take place at the Devaney Center.

Building on the success from last weekend, the Huskers are ready to face the Big Ten newcomer.

"Not sure what their lineup is like but it doesn't really change our attitude or how we approach the match when we go out there, we are still looking for wins," Green said. "I'm sure everyone on the team is looking out there and trying to build on what we just did as a team and welcome Maryland into the Big Ten, so it should be fun and it's going to be a nice little dual."
