Big Red Travel to Campbell, No. 25 UNC

The No. 4 Nebraska wrestling team will make the trip to North Carolina this week for duals against Campbell (1-2, 0-0) and No. 25 North Carolina (2-0, 0-0) on Friday, Nov. 15. The Big Red take on the Camels in Buies Creek at 3:30 p.m. (CT) at the Jim Perry Stadium. Then, the Huskers will travel to Carmichael Arena in Chapel Hill for their dual at No. 25 UNC, slated to start at 7 p.m. (CT).

The North Carolina duals will be the second and third of the Big Red’s 2024-25 season, after the Huskers (1-0, 0-0) claimed their opener against UVU, 32-7, in Lincoln on Friday, Nov. 8. NU took down the Wolverines with two major decisions, two tech., falls and a dual-closing pin from senior Ridge Lovett.

Friday afternoon, the Huskers face the Camels on a baseball field, with up to four ranked matchups in store. The dual will be streamed on UFC Fight Pass, and have live stats available. Heavyweight #9 Taye Ghadiali is the highest ranked Camel and looks to build off his All-American 2023-24 season.

Friday evening, the Big Red will head to Chapel Hill to face #25 UNC, with up to five ranked matchups. The 149 match will likely be between two 2023-24 All-Americans, with #5 Ridge Lovett and UNC’s #6 Lachlan McNeil on the projected lineups.
