Kearney, Neb. - The now 7th-ranked Nebraska-Kearney wrestling team rolled to another RMAC duals title with victories over 20th-ranked Grand Canyon, 28-10, and 14th-ranked Fort Hays State, 26-9, Wednesday in Kansas.

UNK finishes the regular season 18-6 and a perfect 9-0 in the RMAC. Since the 2001-02 season, the Lopers have had the league's best dual record five times. UNK last won the RMAC duals title in 2006-07.

This year's 18 wins tie the school record, set just last year.

Grand Canyon Dual
Going against the only other NCAA school with the nickname of the Antelopes, the Lopers won 7 of the 10 weight classes against the 'Lopes.

Highlights included a fall at 5:58 from 4th-ranked T.J. Hepburn (149 lbs.), a 16-4 major decision from top-ranked Marty Usman (174 lbs.) and an OT loss by senior Taylor May (165 lbs.).

May fell to 6th-ranked Victor Carazo, who improved to 31-4 on the year.

GCU, from Phoenix, would go on to lose to Fort Hays, 28-12.
