LINCOLN -- The Nebraska wrestling team was ranked No. 2 in the NWCA Division I Wrestling Coaches Poll released on Tuesday, which ties the highest ranking in school history and marks the first time the program has occupied the second spot since February 2008.

The Huskers began the season at No. 5 and moved up to No. 3 last week. The Big Red proceeded to defeat Wyoming 28-7 at home on Friday and top then-No. 17 Northern Iowa 23-19 on Sunday in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

Elsewhere this weekend, then-No. 10 Arizona State defeated then-No. 1 Penn State 19-18 in Tempe, Ariz., ending Penn State's 60-meet win streak. Another Penn State streak was broken on Monday, as the Nittany Lions' 36-week run as the No. 1 team in the NWCA Poll officially came to an end when they dropped two spots to No. 3. Iowa now occupies the top spot and the Huskers moved up to No. 2.

Nebraska (4-0, 0-0 Big Ten) returns to action Dec. 6-7 when the Huskers head to Las Vegas for the Cliff Keen Invitational. Action will be streamed on FloWrestling and fans can also follow @HuskerWrestling on Twitter for updates.
