The 10-4 Iowa State Cyclones return to the mat on Sunday February 16th to take on #7 University Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls Iowa. The dual features 16 ranked wrestlers, with 6 total head to head ranked matches. Including one top 10 match.
Don’t Miss: The 141 matchup should be a battle from start to finish. 149 could also be an interesting match-up. Riggins and Thomsen have had some great battles as well.
History: Iowa State leads the series with 62 wins to 20 losses. This years meeting should be one of the better ones in program history.
Keys To Victory: UNI is favored in 8 of the 10 bouts. So Iowa State will need all the bonus points they can get. They will have that opportunity at 133.
125 Ethan Perryman vs Trever Anderson #22
