OREGON, 24-17
Portland, Ore.--The Nebraska wrestling
team (10-5) won its 10th dual of the year Friday night at the 16th Annual

The Huskers went up 6-0 early with victories by Joe Henson at 149 pounds and Bryan Snyder at 157 pounds. Henson earned a 3-2 decision over Mark Castle, 3-2, and Snyder earned his 20th win of the season with a 6-3 decision over Darryl Christian.
Oregon got on the board in the next matchup, as 165-pounder Sean Morgan pinned Husker freshman Tony Denke two and a half minutes into the match to tie the dual at 6-6.
Sophomore Charles McTorry countered with a win at 174 pounds for the Huskers over Shawn O'Rourke, 9-4.
At 184 pounds, Oregon's 17th-ranked Doug Lee upset NU's seventh-ranked Brad Vering, 5-2. Ninth-ranked Chael Sonnen defeated 15th-ranked Husker Scott Munson, 14-6, at 197 pounds to give the Ducks a 12-9 lead.
But Nebraska finished the meet with three wins, two coming from forfeits. Heavyweight J.R. Plienis won 6-3 over Kevin Keeney, before sixth-rated 125-pounder Paul Gomez and 133-pounder Todd Beckerman won by forfeit. In the meet's final match, Oregon's David Watson earned a major decision over freshman Travis Vandever, who wrestled for usual starter Jose DeAnda.
