NU takes on 25th-ranked Pittsburgh at 6:30 p.m. CT on Friday before a clash with Clarion in a match hosted by No. 2 Jake Herbert s alma mater, North Allegheny High School, at 11 a.m. CT Saturday. Herbert won a 2003 Pennsylvania state championship and compiled a overall high school record while competing for North Allegheny. Now third all-time in career victories at Northwestern, Herbert is off to a 10-0 start in RETURN OF A CHAMPION Since rejoining the Northwestern lineup in 2008, sixth-year senior and 2007 NCAA champ Jake Herbert has returned to his old form after his Olympic redshirt year in Herbert has racked up a 10-0 record thus far while winning all but one match either by fall or major decision. He captured a title at the Michigan State Open, defeating Pitt s Zac Thomusseit in the finals. Herbert s nine victories up his career win total to 125, which ranks third all-time at NU. Herbert s career record is now 124-4, good for the best-ever career winning percentage for a Northwestern matman (.969). He trails only Jack Griffin (156) and Steve DePetro (146) on the school s all-time wins list. LAST TIME OUT Trailing by three heading into the last four matches, then-no. 17 Northwestern got critical pins by second-ranked Jake Herbert and heavyweight Paul Rands, along with decisions by Robert Kellogg and John Schoen down the stretch to down Northern Illinois at Welsh-Ryan Arena, Kellogg s win at 174 lbs. turned the tides of the match in NU s favor. After missing two matches due to illness, freshman Jason Welch (157) returned to beat Bryan Deutsch, who was 6-1 entering the meet.
