Wrestling 1/27/06 -- Nebraska-Omaha 24, Augsburg 10

MINNEAPOLIS (1/27/06) -- Winning seven of 10 matches, the University of Nebraska-Omaha scored a 24-10 triumph over host Augsburg College in a meeting of two of the top teams in small-college wrestling on Friday night at Si Melby Hall.

Nebraska-Omaha, the two-time defending NCAA Division II national champions and current top-ranked team in the division, remained unbeaten at 6-0 in dual meets. Augsburg, the defending NCAA Division III national champions and current No. 2-ranked team nationally in its division, is now 7-2 overall.

The visiting Mavericks built a 15-0 lead after the first five weight classes, and claimed two wins from top-ranked wrestlers in the second half of the dual meet to clinch the match.

Top-ranked heavyweight Les Sigman (Sr., Sturgis, S.D./Sturgis Brown HS) scored a first-period pin in the final match to cap the evening for the Mavericks. Sigman, the three-time defending Division II national titlist, improved to 14-0 on the season, extending his individual winning streak to 63 straight matches. J.D. Naig (Jr., Emmetsburg, Iowa), ranked No. 1 at 174 pounds, scored a 4-1 victory in his match for the Mavericks.

There were three meetings of ranked wrestlers, with the Mavericks winning two of them. No. 2-ranked Patrick Allibone (Jr., Sioux City, Iowa/Bishop Heelan HS) gave Augsburg's Jeremy Anderson (So., Thief River Falls, Minn.) his first loss of the season, as the UNO wrestler scored a 4-2 victory. Anderson is now 30-1 on the season.

Shane Unger (So., Madison, Neb.), ranked No. 6 at 149 for UNO, scored a 7-3 victory over Augsburg's Jared Evans (Jr., Blue Earth, Minn./Blue Earth Area HS), ranked No. 3, claiming a takedown and three-point near-fall in the final minute of the third period to rally for the win.

Augsburg's top-ranked Ryan Valek (Sr., Belle Plaine, Minn./Scott West) won his 24th straight match and improved to 31-2 on the season with an 11-3, major-decision win over UNO's Ross Taplin (Fr., Abilene, Kan.), ranked No. 4.

Augsburg's Robbie Gotreau (So., Bloomington, Minn./Jefferson HS), ranked No. 5 at 174, moved up a weight class to 184 and claimed a 3-1, overtime win over UNO's Nate Oviatt (Jr., Sturgis, S.D./Sturgis Brown HS).

Augsburg returns to varsity action on Wednesday (2/1) with a dual meet at Wartburg (Iowa), the top-ranked team in Division III. UNO has a dual meet at Central Oklahoma next Friday (2/3) at 7 p.m.
