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.
