LINCOLN, Neb. – Northwestern senior Jameson Oster picked up a big win at Nebraska Friday night on Big Ten Network with a second period fall of the Huskers' 19th-ranked Anthony Abidin at 141 lbs.
Â
Oster used a nearside cradle to break a 2-2 tie and beat Abidin for the first time in three tries. The two had previously met last year at Northwestern and at the 2015 Big Ten championships. The Northwestern 141-pounder came into the match ranked No. 20 by FloWrestling and 24th in the NWCA Coaches Poll.
Â
"It felt good," Oster said. "Coming back to get revenge on someone feels good, especially with a pin. Even better."
Â
No. 8 Nebraska won the overall dual, 39-6.
Â
Four matches were decided by decision, with each of Northwestern's losses in those bouts coming by four or fewer points to nationally ranked opponents.
Â
Chicago's Big Ten Team wraps up the 2015-16 dual season with a pair of meets next weekend. The Wildcats celebrate Senior Day on Friday, Feb. 19 against Duke at 7 p.m. and then travel to Madison, Wis. for the season finale at Wisconsin on Sunday, Feb. 21.
Â
The Big Ten Championships take place March 5-6 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa.
