The University of Iowa Women’s Wrestling team made a way to win the Desert Duals in Las Vegas today. The Hawks forfeited three weights all day and still placed first.
Iowa had wrestlers competing at U.S. Nationals in Fort Worth, Texas for a spot on the Olympic Trials, injuries, and illness that found Iowa short of wrestlers but not results.
Even with giving points for three forfeits Iowa defeated three opponents including two highly ranked teams.
In the first dual Iowa defeated Adams State, 34-11. In the second round Iowa defeated #4 Colorado Mesa, 25-20. In the third round the Hawks defeated #8 Simon Frasier, 24-23.
It took quite a few pins and tech falls to make these dual meet victories happen.
What a great performance by the Hawks.
Iowa will compete next at Soldier Salute in Coralville, Iowa on December 29-30.
