The Cowboys began the dual with an early lead 6-0 after Iowa’s Jesse Ybarra and Austin DeSanto both lost to their opponent by decision. No. 3 DeSanto wrestled against Oklahoma State’s No. 2 Daton Fix in the third match-up of the two opponents in their collegiate career. Fix won by decision, 5-3.
Iowa won seven of the ten matches, two of which were major decisions. This is the last non-conference dual of the 2021-2022 wrestling season for the Hawkeyes.
The Bout at the Ballpark event consisted of wrestlers at the collegiate and international level with Team USA men’s and women’s teams taking on a showcase of top-ranked wrestlers from around the world. This is the first time a wrestling event at the collegiate level has taken place at a baseball stadium. Over 12,000 fans attended the event.
