The Iowa Women’s Wrestling team closed out the dual meet season on the road with a 39-7 win over Sioux Falls. Iowa finished at 16-0 in dual meets on the season.
The Hawks had five tech falls, two pins, a decision, and received a forfeit. Iowa forfeited at 109 lbs.
The best match of the night was Alivia White of Iowa defeating Zoe Adams 8-4 at 191. Adams scored on a four-point headlock in the first period. White countered with a four-point throw of her own to tie it. It looked as though White had the fall but they were called out of bounds. The best move of the night was at the end of the match when White fought off another headlock and came out on top for a takedown to seal the win. Great match to watch.
Emilie Gonzalez(101), Brianna Gonzalez(116), Cali Leng(123), and Ella Schmidt(143) won by tech fall. Emily Frost(130), Emmily Patneaud(136), and Bella Mir(155) won by fall.
I was disappointed that Iowa forfeited at 109 lbs. and we did not get to see Kylie Welker at 170 lbs. who received a forfeit. Iowa and Sioux Falls are both in their first year of competition.
Emily Frost pinned a Sioux Falls wrestler in the first period in an exhibition match at the end of the dual meet. I hope we see more exhibition matches at the end of all dual meets next season. The meet last night lasted 40 minutes so more matches at the end would fit in.
The bleachers looked full in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and it was easy to see a lot of Black and Gold Iowa Wrestling shirts in the crowd.
I would like to thank the University of Sioux Falls for the online broadcast of the meet that was free of charge. Well done.
