The Hawkeyes won seven matches, picking up bonus points in four of them. Tony Ramos, Mark Ballweg, and Mike Evans each won by major decision, and Nick Moore picked up a pin as Iowa improved to 14-1 this season, 4-0 against Big Ten opponents. 

Top-ranked Matt McDonough beat Brenan Lyon 8-2, but was unable to record a bonus point for the fourth-straight match. Derek St. John and freshman Nathan Burak won by decision. 

But Mike Kelly couldn’t muster any offense in a 10-4 loss to the Spartans’ Dan Osterman, and No. 11 Ethen Lofthouse suffered a 6-3 upset to No. 19 John Rizqallah. Iowa forfeited the match at heavyweight for the second-straight dual meet.  

The Hawkeyes will travel to face No. 3 Minnesota on Saturday.
