Kearney, Neb. – The fourth-ranked Nebraska Kearney wrestling team had eight bonus point victories and a forfeit to overwhelm Newman, 54-0, Thursday night in Wichita.

The Lopers (9-6, 3-0) improve to 15-0 all-time against the Jets (1-6, 1-3) with the last five duals by a tally of 220-12. The 54-point margin of victory is UNK's biggest since a 55-0 decision over a club team from Texas-Arlington in 2009-10. 

The match of the night came at 165-pounds where sixth-ranked Trenton Munoz (Santa Clarita, Calif.) edged 13th-ranked Jace Fisher, 4-2. Fisher came in with a 20-3 record, but Munoz tallied a second period take down and a third period escape to win by two. He is now 15-4 on the winter. 

At 125-pounds, second-ranked Zach Ourada (Omaha Skutt) returned to action after an injury break and promptly recorded a fall in just 1:36. Fifth-ranked Jackson Kinsella (Creston, Ia.) almost matched that time with a pin at 1:42 with top-ranked Crew Howard (Clarinda, Ia.) working over Caleb Wunsch, 18-2. Wunsch came in leading D2 in falls against D2 competition (12) and ranking sixth in point average (3.95).

UNK has a much tougher test Friday night against the fifth-ranked Central Oklahoma Bronchos. UCO got past UNK, 22-14, at the Nationals Duals back in January.
