Iowa Loses At Northwestern, 22-19<\/p>\n
Wildcats snap Iowa’s 35-match series winning streak <\/p>\n
EVANSTON, IL – The University of Iowa wrestling team fell to 6-4, 1-2 in the Big Ten, with a 22-19 loss at Northwestern Saturday night in Evanston, IL. The Wildcats snapped Iowa’s 35-match winning streak in the series with the win. Northwestern’s last win over Iowa was 18-6 in 1968. The Wildcats improved to 9-1, 2-1 in the Big Ten, with the win.<\/p>\n
Iowa won four of the first five weight classes to take a 19-3 team lead. The Hawkeyes got pins from junior Joe Johnston (157) and redshirt freshman Mark Perry (165), a major decision from junior Ty Eustice (149) and a decision from junior Mario Galanakis (133) in the first five matches. Northwestern responded by winning the last five matches to take the dual. Iowa endured a pin at 174, an upset decision at 184 and a major decision at 197 while still holding on to a 19-16 team lead. Hawkeye freshmen Matt Fields (Hwt.) and Charlie Falck (125) each had a chance to preserve an Iowa dual win, but neither could overcome early deficits in their matches and both lost decisions. <\/p>\n
Iowa will hit the road again next weekend for two Big Ten matches. The Hawkeyes will face Penn State (7-7, 1-2 in the Big Ten) Friday at 6 p.m. (CT) in University Park, PA, and Ohio State (6-6, 0-2 in the Big Ten) Saturday at 6:30 p.m. (CT) in Columbus, OH.<\/p>\n
