UNK Faces Familiar Foes
Kearney, Neb. – The 2nd-ranked Nebraska Kearney wrestling team is the second seed in this year's NWCA Multi-Division National Duals and will face Newberry (S.C.) in a first-round match this Friday at 9 a.m. Central. The two-day, double elimination event is being held at the Kentucky Expo Center and features brackets in NCAA Divisions II & and III, the NAIA and junior college ranks. The UNK-Newberry College winner and loser takes on either 24th-ranked Ashland (Ohio) or 11th-ranked Mary (ND) in the next round. Both of those duals start at 11 a.m. Central. If the Lopers can string two wins together, they'll likely face third-ranked and three-seed St. Cloud State Saturday at 11 a.m. Last year, UNK faced these same trio of teams as it beat Ashland in round one, 40-3, fell to SCSU in the next, 19-14, and then rolled past Newberry, 47-3, to come in third place. The Lopers won this tournament in both 2003 and 2007. No. 1 Central Oklahoma is the top seed and on the other side of the bracket with No. 4 West Liberty (W.V) their likely quarters opponent.

Those Lopers not in Louisville this weekend will be at the annual Hastings Open on Saturday.
