Hawkeyes Sweep Weekend In Indiana

Top-ranked Iowa had two Big Ten duals in the state of Indiana, and didn't lose a match.

The Hawkeyes had a 41-0 win over 18th-ranked Purdue on Sunday, two days after posting the same score against Indiana.

Iowa had two falls, two technical falls, and a major decision against the Boilermakers.

“I like bonus points. It makes it uneven and puts pressure on those guys,” Iowa coach Tom Brands said. “It doesn’t have to be tight. Send messages to the rest of country. I like pins. I like bonus points.”

Spencer Lee (125) and Austin DeSanto (133) opened the dual with technical falls, outscoring their opponents 34-1.

Alex Marinelli (165) and Tony Cassioppi (285) each had pins for the Hawkeyes. Marinelli has pinned seven of his last nine opponents.

4-point near fall secures the 8-2 victory for Jacob Warner over Christian Brunner!
