UCO TO NEBRASKA: Central Oklahoma hits the road for Kearney, Neb. to take on Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association rival Nebraska-Kearney and participate in the Midwest Duals.

The Bronchos, 5-2 on the season and 2-0 in the league, meet the No. 3-ranked Lopers (6-2, 0-0) at 7 p.m. Thursday at Kearney High School. UCO goes against No. 8 California Baptist (2-2) at 9 a.m. and San Francisco State (1-4) at 11:30 a.m. in Saturday's Midwest Duals at Buffalo County Fairgrounds.

Central will be back on the road next Tuesday at Newman before hosting top-ranked Maryville on Jan. 22.

The Bronchos have an 18-9 series lead over UNK, though the Lopers have won the last two meetings. UCO won the only previous meeting with CBU in 2013-14 and is 3-0 against the Gators.

PROBABLE LINEUP: Here's a look at UCO's probable lineup for the upcoming duals:

125 – Zac D'Amico, So. (7-8); 133 – Blake Dauphin, RS Fr. (15-9) or Aaron Hane, So. (8-7); 141 – Joshua Ailey, Jr. (10-5); 149 – Spencer Rutherford, Sr. (20-7); 157 – Jeromy Davenport, Sr. (11-7) or Cody Ryan, RS Fr.

(12-6) or Evan McGee, Jr. (5-4).

ABOUT THE BRONCHOS: UCO knocked off No. 10-ranked conference rival Lindenwood 19-18 Tuesday for its 28^th win in the last 30 home matches.

The Bronchos won just four of the 10 matches, but got falls from 141 Joshua Ailey and 184 Brock Warren, a major decision from 125 Zac D'Amico and an 8-3 win from 149 Spencer Rutherford to overcome LU's six regular decisions.

Ailey and Warren both had first-period pins and D'Amico notched an 11-2 rout for the bonus-point wins that proved to be the difference in the dual.

It was the 20^th win of the season for Spencer, now 20-7 with 12 bonus-point wins (eight falls, three technical falls, one major decision).
