Lane Captures Title at Warren Williamson/Daktronics Open

Brookings, S.D. - Two members of the Nebraska wrestling team opened the 2010-11 tournament season over the weekend at the Warren Williamson/Daktroics Open in Brookings, S.D. The tournament, which took place Saturday, Nov. 6, featured Nebraska wrestlers Tucker Lane (HWT) and Andy Johnson (197).

Lane, a two-time NCAA qualifier, cruised through his first two matches by collecting pins over DeAnthony Cloyd (Midland) and Zack Wilcox (unattached) to reach the semifinals. The junior then defeated Seth McGregor (Iowa Central JC) in the semifinals by a 4-2 decision to advance to the finals against Matt Meuleners (Northern State). Lane escaped with a 3-2 decision over Meuleners in the finals to capture the heavyweight title.

In the 197-pound weight division, Johnson defeated Logan Johnson (Iowa Central CC) and Scott Schiller (unattached) each by the score of 11-4 in the first two rounds. Johnson's only loss came in the semifinals when he fell by sudden victory to Tyler Copsey (Augustana), 3-2, which moved him to the third place bracket. In the third place bracket, Johnson collected his first fall of the season by defeating Nick Mart (unattached) in 2:15, to set up a rematch with Schiller, who Johnson defeated in the quarterfinals earlier in the day. Johnson was impressive in his match against Schiller, winning by decision, 11-6, to capture third place.

The Huskers will kick off their dual season on Saturday, Nov. 21, at the Buckeye Duals in Columbus, Ohio. Nebraska is set dual both Ohio State and Pittsburgh in double-header action.
