WHITE SHOWS CONSISTENCY IN FIRST SEASON AS A HUSKER• Sophomore Isaiah White (165) is proving his place as one of the top wrestlers at his weight in the country in his first season in a Nebraska singlet. White is the only Husker to have won his match in each of NU’s first four duals this season.

• White also leads NU starters in dual points (13) and dual takedowns (15) and has been taken down just once in dual competition. He has outscored his four dual opponents by a combined score of 43-19.

• White has four wins by bonus points on the season, including two technical falls and two major decisions. He finished second at the Daktronics Open in November and defeated four ranked opponents to finish third at the Cliff Keen Invitational in December. His only losses are to top-11 opponents Nick Wanzek of Minnesota and Te’Shan Campbell of Ohio State.

• White won the NCAA Division II title at 165 pounds last season for Notre Dame College (Ohio) before transferring to Nebraska last summer. He went 28-2 overall as a freshman.

VENZ DOMINATING DURING REDSHIRT FRESHMAN CAMPAIGN• Taylor Venz (184) has a team leading seven pins this season and has two technical falls and one major decision on the year.

• At the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational, Venz burst on the scene with four pins on the first day of competition, including a pair in under 15 seconds and two more over top-eight opponents. Venz finished third at the tournament, as the previously unranked wrestler jumped to sixth in the next week’s InterMat rankings.

• Two of Venz’s three wins in dual matches have come by bonus points, as he has a technical fall and a major decision.

• In a 28-4 redshirt season last year, Venz pinned eight opponents, defeated seven by tech fall and won six major decisions.

EXPERIENCED PAIR LOOKS TO BOUNCE BACK• Tyler Berger (157) and Colton McCrystal (149) are Nebraska’s two returning NCAA qualifiers from last season, but the pair is looking to bounce back after going a combined 0-3 against NC State and North Carolina in NU’s last two duals.

• Berger, an All-American at 157 pounds a season ago, is 10-4 this season with half of his wins against ranked wrestlers. He won the Daktronics Open and finished fourth at the Cliff Keen Invitational.

• McCrystal, who qualified for the NCAA Championships at 141 pounds last season, moved up to 149 this year and is 9-2 on the year with a pair of wins over ranked opponents. He is 2-1 in duals this season.

REDSHIRT FRESHMEN STEPPING UP• Four redshirt freshmen, Chad Red Jr. (141), Beau Breske (174), Taylor Venz (184) and Eric Schultz (197) have become strong forces in Nebraska’s starting lineup this season.

• Red, ranked eighth at 141, is 11-4 on the season after finishing fourth at the Cliff Keen Invitational. Three of his four losses have come to No. 2 Bryce Meredith of Wyoming and No. 4 Kevin Jack of NC State, all by decision.

• Venz leads starters in pins (7) and has defeated four top-11 opponents.

• Schultz is 7-5 on the year with four of his losses coming to top-10 opponents. He did not place at the Cliff Keen Invitational, but gained valuable experience as he took top-ranked Kollin Moore of Ohio State right to the end in a 3-2 loss.

• Beau Breske has also been featured in the lineup as of late, as he is 7-3 on the year with a win over a ranked opponent at the Cliff Keen Invitational. He notched his first dual win over Adis Radoncic of North Carolina.

HUSKERS WORKING THROUGH TOUGH SCHEDULE• Nebraskawill face seven teams indual action in2017-18 thatfinished in the top25at theNCAAChampionships last season: Michigan (10th), Illinois (11th), Wisconsin (13th), NC State (17th), Rutgers (19th), Wyoming (21st) and Stanford (24th).

• In addition, NU has seven teams on the slate currently ranked in the USA Today/NWCA Coaches Poll: NC State (5th), Michigan (8th), Illinois (12th), Rutgers (17th), Wisconsin (16th), North Carolina (19th) and Purdue (24th).

BACK POINTS LAST TIME OUT#6 NC STATE 29, #12 NEBRASKA 3Dec. 15, Devaney Center• Nebraskadroppeditsfirstdualoftheseasonto No. 6 NC State, 29-3, at the Devaney Center on Dec. 15.

• The Huskers and Wolfpack (10-0) were tied 3-3 after two matches, but NC State won each of the last eight bouts to end the dual on a 26-0 run.

• No. 10 Isaiah White notched a 9-3 decision over Brian Hamann at 165 pounds after the dual started at 157 pounds.

• NU’s three team points were its lowest in a dual since suffering a 33-3 loss to top-ranked Iowa in January of 2010.

NORTH CAROLINA 22, #12 NEBRASKA 14Dec. 17, Devaney Center• Nebraska’s late-dual comeback attempt fell short on Dec. 17, as North Carolina won a pair ofdecisions inthefinaltwomatchestoseala22-14 victory over the Huskers at the Devaney Center.

• No. 8 Chad Red Jr. (141) led the Huskers a technical fall, while No. 10 Isaiah White (165), Beau Breske (174) and No. 6 Taylor Venz (184) won decisions as the Tar Heels took six of the 10 matches.

• The Huskers, who never led in the dual, had life after an exciting turn of events in the overtime period at 174 pounds. With UNC leading 16-8, Breske fought North Carolina’s Adis Radoncic to a 1-1 tie after three periods and a sudden-victory period. After Breske gave up an escape when he was in control in the tiebreaker period, the Husker grappler struggled to break Radoncic’s grip until the finalseconds,whenheflippedtheTarHeeltoscore a reversal with six seconds left and win thematch,3-2,Breske’sfirst-careerdualvictory.

• White’s victory at 165 pounds and Venz’s win at 184 bookended Nebraska’s 9-0 run to close to within 16-14 with two matches to go.
