The NCAA collegiate wrestling recently witnessed another great dual between the Nebraska Huskers and the Campbell Camels. Both teams fought several wrestling matches against each other on 10th November 2023. However, almost undisputedly, the Nebraska Huskers took a massive victory. The Huskers wrestling program witnessed its first home game this season.

Opening their first dual in home territory, the Huskers showcased incredible patience and slowly unraveled the wrestlers of Campbell. A social media post shared the information of the epic battle between Campbell and Nebraska.

Nebraska shines in the home opener

The Nebraska Huskers played hosts and welcomed the wrestlers of Campbell for an amazing dual. Ranked at number nine, the Huskers fought an almost one-sided brawl on the mat against their opponents. Nebraska Wrestling tweeted the result of the staunch achievement of its students via its official X handle. The tweet simply carried the caption, “Home DUB.” The tweet also had an image that showed the result of the dual, as Nebraska picked up 37 wins while the Camels could only manage four. 

The results came out after intense matches that were witnessed by 2,527 spectators in the evening. With a line of star-studded performances by the Huskers, the season looks in interestingly good shape with wrestling stars competing in almost every weight class. Among the many victories secured by the Nebraska Huskers, four of them came off technical falls. Moreover, while the wrestlers of Campbell struggled to find any momentum, the wrestling team of Nebraska kept landing one takedown after another.

Relentless takedowns doomed the Campbell Camels

The Nebraska Huskers Wrestling Team came fully prepared to host their first game of the season. The entire team of Nebraska registered multiple takedowns against its opponents, especially in the early stages of the bout. This forced its opponents to first nullify a disadvantage before getting a shot at victory.

Even Nebraska redshirt freshman Jake Van Dee followed the same strategy to clinch a win in the 133-pound weight class. He started off his bout against Logan Hile and secured two takedowns in the very first period. While this created pressure on the Camel wrestler, Van Dee loosened up and bided his time to pull off an escape and a reversal to win by decision.
