No. 2 Iowa Downs No. 12 Minnesota, 18-13



MINNEAPOLIS – Sophomore Patrick Kennedy had a happy homecoming as the second-ranked University of Iowa wrestling team posted an 18-13 victory over No. 12 Minnesota in front of a sold-out crowd of 15,250 on Friday night in Maturi Pavilion.



The Hawkeyes won the first six bouts of the dual to build an 18-0 lead before the Gophers won the final four matches with three coming against Iowa true freshmen. The win moves the Hawkeyes’ record to 13-1 overall and 6-1 in Big Ten action.



“We responded pretty well (from last week) with the older guys,” said Kennedy. “We had three true freshmen in the lineup tonight and I don’t think that has ever been done. We had two at Wisconsin and that had never been done.



“These guys go out and fight hard. We work year-round. We’re building and working for the postseason.”



Top-ranked Spencer Lee opened the dual with a 7-1 victory over No. 6 Patrick McKee at 125 to win his 50th consecutive match. Lee had a takedown and four-point near fall to build a 6-1 lead after the first and added a second period escape. Lee improves to 12-0 this season.



The Hawkeyes won their second match at 133 – a 4-3 decision by No. 17 Brody Teske over Jake Gliva. Teske led 1-0 following a second-period escape before Gilva had an escape and takedown early in the third period to take a 3-1 lead with 1:25 left.



The Fort Dodge, Iowa, native closed to within 3-2 with an escape before getting the match-clinching takedown with less than 10 seconds to go.



No. 2 Real Woods notched his 11th win of the season – an 8-1 decision over No. 15 Jake Bergeland at 141. Woods led 2-0 through the first and 5-0 through the second before getting a third period takedown to make it 7-0. Bergeland got a late escape to avoid the major, but Woods had more than two minutes of riding time in the match.



No. 6 Max Murin gave the Hawkeyes a 12-0 lead with an 11-7 decision over No. 15 Michael Blockhus at 149. Murin put the match away in the third period, locking up a cradle for a takedown and two-point near fall to take an 11-6 lead. The win improves Murin to 15-3 this season.



Iowa made it 5-for-5 before the break when No. 15 Cobe Siebrecht won a 4-0 decision over No. 17 Brayton Lee at 157. Siebrecht body locked Lee for a first-period takedown and led 3-0 through two before accumulating 2:43 of riding time. The win moves Siebrecht to 9-3 this season with five ranked wins.



No. 7 Patrick Kennedy extended the Hawkeyes’ winning streak to six matches with a 13-8 decision over Cael Carlson at 165. The Minnesota native had three first-period takedowns to build a 6-2 lead and he had five takedowns in the match to improve 14-2 this season.



“I felt good with effort; I went out and scored points,” said Kennedy. “Points are what wins matches, you can beat a guy on the mat, but ultimately you have to win on the scoreboard. It felt great to get a win (in Minnesota). My parents got a coach bus and brought a ton of people. I was happy to send them home with a win.”



The Gophers won the final four matches of the dual with three Hawkeye freshman in the lineup. No. 11 Bailee O’Reilly won a 4-1 decision over Aiden Riggins at 174, No. 10 Isaiah Salazar used a late escape to post a major decision over Drake Rhodes at 184 and No. 32 Garrett Joles downed Bradley Hill, 5-0, at heavyweight.



At 197, Iowa’s No. 7 Jacob Warner rode out No. 28 Michial Foy the entire second period before Foy erased the riding time and cut the Hawkeye with a minute left in the third. Foy pulled off the upset when he came out of a scramble with a takedown just before time expired to claim a 2-1 decision.
