The Hawkeyes are coming into Hilton to face off against Cyclones this evening. The Hawkeyes are rated 1st both in the NWCA Coaches and Flowrestling while the Cyclones are rated 13th in the NWCA Coaches Poll and tied 16th in Flowrestling. It is going to best a dog fight out on the mat this year and fully expect this to be a fun matchup to watch so sit back, grab a beverage and let the chaos begin!
2-0 Iowa State is hosting the Hawkeyes for another Cy-Hawk showdown. This is going to be a tough task against our in-state rivals. Hopefully, Ian Parker has recovered because we will need everyone on deck. If Iowa State can have some matches go for the Cyclones, then we will have a shot to take down Goliath.
Iowa Hawkeyes:
The Iowa Hawkeyes are 2-0 coming off a win against Army. They are coming without one of their key pieces: Spencer Lee. That’s right, the man who wrestled in the championship with 2 bum legs and WON! That’s a big loss for Iowa. But don’t overlook them because they have plenty of other wrestlers that are very good.
