Iowa State beats Utah Valley 31-9
The Cyclones headed to Utah to take on Utah Valley. This felt like a business trip. Their goals were to remain undefeated and come out of the duel healthy. They did just that.

In-Depth And Key Notes In Duel:
Overall, the Cyclones got what needed to be done and came out with a victory. with a few hiccups here and there, everything seemed to be smooth and no real upsets happened in the duel. In fact, some positives came out of this duel. Let's touch up on a few of the key matches.
Zach Redding, David Carr, and Marcus Coleman all got pins in the first period. These guys were there to get the job done quickly and quickly it was! I was very happy to see Zach Redding out there in full force and manhandling his opponent. It’s refreshing to see that we have a deep weight class at 133. Sam Schuyler also looked extremely dominant against his opponent.
Weight Classes 125, 141, and 174 did not have their starters in but instead, Zach Redding, Drew Woodley, and Carter Schmidt took their places. Carter Schmidt really impressed me since he took on the #7 guy in the nation and he had a very aggressive attitude. It was a pleasant surprise to see Schmidt being aggressive and not backing down.
Caleb Fusseley and Jason Kraisser had nail-biter matches. Unfortunately, Fusseley was one point away from winning his match. Jason Kraisser had different plans though. Kraisser had a dominant 3rd period riding his guy all the way through sending it into overtime. Kraisser pulled it through and got the final takedown.
Yonger Bastida had a tougher matchup against Evan Bockman. Even though Bastida looked like the aggressor and was taking a ton of shots, Bockman was defending the shots efficiently and only let a Bastida get a couple of takedowns. You could see that Bockman was gassed after the 2nd period because of the flurries that Bastida was doing against him.
