Kearney, Neb. – The sixth-ranked Nebraska-Kearney wrestling team dominated both the Augustana Duals and Doane University Open Saturday in Sioux Falls, S.D., and Crete.

UNK (4-2) won four duals by a combined score of 159-26 while having all seven entries place in the top five at Doane.

At Augustana, the Lopers beat the 16th-ranked host Vikings (27-11), Southwest Minnesota State (39-6), Truman State, Mo. (51-0) and NAIA Morningside College, Ia. (42-6). The 51-point win over the TSU Bulldogs, former MIAA members, is UNK's largest since a 55-0 pasting of Texas-Arlington in 2010. 

The Lopers, still not a full strength, won 34 of the 40 matches with one of the setbacks coming due to a forfeit. Among the 34 "W's" were 14 falls, six majors and three tech falls.

Oklahoma sophomore Jeff Bizzle (141 lbs.) and Colorado true freshman Vlad Kazakov (125 lbs.) each went 4-0 to lead the way. Bizzle had falls in 45 seconds and 1:47 with Kazakov recording a 14-4 major against SMSU.

Four other Lopers won three times and they were California senior Richard Miranda (165 lbs.), Kansas juniors Calvin Ochs (174 lbs.) and Bryce Shoemaker (133 lbs.) and Alliance redshirt freshman Walker Johnson (149 lbs.). Finally, top-ranked Destin McCauley (157 lbs.) went 2-0, recording a fall in 1:26 and a 4-1 decision over Augie's Tyler Nation.

Well down the road in Crete, true freshman Jacob Wasser (141 lbs.) and Jacob Swift (165 lbs.) won their respective weight classes. Wasser (Kintnersville, Pa.) went 5-0, recording two majors, while Swift (Peoria, Ariz.) posted a 4-0 mark that included a 3-2 win over Nebraska's Corey Sornson in the finals.

Also, Lincoln true freshman Jonathan Killingsworth (141 lbs.) and Isaac Luellen (174 lbs.) both won four times to finish fifth.

UNK is now off until New Year's Eve when it takes part in the annual Viking-Warrior Open in Fremont.
