NCAA Division III No. 1 Augsburg College won five of the first six bouts, then held off the Mavericks for a 23-13 non-conference wrestling dual Friday night at Lee & Helene Sapp Fieldhouse in front of a state-wide television audience.

UNO, ranked No. 2 in NCAA Division II, fell to 4-2 in duals before wrestling at Dana College Saturday night at 7. Augsburg improved to 9-0.

Augsburg won the first three matches to build an 11-0 lead before UNO sophomore Todd Meneely scored an 11-4 decision over Jared Evans at 149 pounds to improve to 24-2 on the year, cutting the team score to 11-3.

UNO freshman Jeff Rau scored a near upset at 133 when he forced six overtime periods before losing on a reversal to No. 1 ranked and unbeaten Jarari Vanier.

Augsburg won at 157 and 165 for a 17-3 lead, but the Mavs came back with a major decision by J.D. Naig at 174 to knock the margin down to 17-7. However, Augsburg clinched the match when George Lynaugh pinned Maverick freshman Austin Boehm at 184.

The Mavericks responded with wins by Jacob Marrs and Tony Lewis in the final two bouts.
