From Iowa Sports Info:

The University of Iowa wrestling team extended its unbeaten dual winning streak to 80 games Friday with wins over Baker (47-3), Cornell College (42-0) and Iowa Central (37-6) inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Tom Brands earned his 100th win as Iowa’s head wrestling coach as Iowa swept the Iowa City Duals for the fourth time in as many seasons. Brands owns a 100-6-1 record since taking over the Hawkeye program in 2006. The Hawkeyes recorded nine pins while posting a 27-3 record in the three duals.

Seven Hawkeyes recorded perfect 3-0 marks in the duals, including 125-pounder Matt McDonough, 174-pounder Ethen Lofthouse and heavyweight Bobby Telford. All three Hawkeyes recorded a pair of pins and a bonus-point victory. McDonough opened the three-dual event with a second period pin against Baker’s Bo Newport and Telford sent the crowd of 8,527 home with a first period pin against Central’s Lonnie Brown. McDonough added a first period pin against Jacob Colon (Central). Telford put Baker’s Dylan Berg on his back in 2:17. Lofthouse recorded a fall against Baker’s Clarence Brown in the opening period before pinning Cornell’s Brent Hamm in 1:06, the fastest fall of the night.

Redshirt freshman Mike Evans, sophomores Tony Ramos and Derek St. John, and senior Montell Marion also posted perfect 3-0 marks. Evans, Ramos and Marion recorded one pin each. St. John added two technical falls. Twenty-two of Iowa’s 27 wins earned bonus points.

Senior Vinnie Wagner made his first career appearance in front of the Carver-Hawkeye Arena crowd. The 184-pounder earned a 21-8 major decision over Cornell’s Andrew Roberts.

Junior Grant Gambrall returned to the mat for the first time since winning the third-place bout at last season’s NCAA Championships. Gambrall made his first career appearance at 197 pounds and used 1:35 of riding time to earn a 4-3 decision over Cornell’s Alex Coolidge.

Redshirt freshman Jeremy Fahler earned a pair of major decisions in each of his 184-pound bouts. Fahler topped Baker’s Parker Owen 9-1 before recording a 12-4 win over Iowa Central’s Cristian Mays.

Sophomore Tomas Lira split a pair of decisions at 197 pounds. Redshirt freshman Jacob Ballweg lost two of his three decisions while competing at 149 pounds.

Kids five and under are admitted free to all home wrestling events.
