  • Iowa Hawkeyes to Host National Championship Dual Series
    Iowa Hawkeyes to Host National Championship Dual Series Iowa to face an undetermined conference champion Feb. 22 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The University of Iowa has been selected as one of eight host sites for the 2016 NWCA Division I National Championships Dual Series. The second-ranked Hawkeyes will host an undetermined conference champion on Monday, Feb. 22 at 7 p.m. (CT) at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Iowa’s opponent will be announced Sunday, Feb. 14. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for youth, and available for purchase at the UI Athletics Tickets Office, over the phone at 1-800-IA-HAWKS, or online at hawkeyesports.com. Formerly the NWCA National Duals Tournament, the National Championships Dual Series is a new format designed to match the top eight Big Ten programs against the regular season champion from the other seven Division I conferences -- Pac 12, Big 12, ACC, EIAW, EWL, MAC, SoCon, Ivy League. The eighth nonconference team will be selected as an at-large based on its national ranking. The eight Big Ten host schools include No. 1 Penn State, No. 2 Iowa, No. 9 Michigan, No. 10 Ohio State, No. 11 Nebraska, No. 14 Rutgers, No. 18 Minnesota, and Indiana. “The concept is similar to the bowl game series in football,” NWCA President Mark Cody said. “This format was developed by the Division I wrestling coaches and the NWCA’s role is to ensure that it gets off the ground. Our goal is to have the top eight ranked Big Ten schools host a non-Big Ten opponent with one of the duals determining the national dual meet title.” “I’ve been thrilled with the extraordinary level of support this event has received from all participating coaches and administrations,” said NWCA Executive Director Mike Moyer.

  • Wrestling DIVISION I
    Wrestling DIVISION I Highlights Iowa captures Division I wrestling title in dominating fashion: The Iowa Hawkeyes finished in style, outdistancing the field at the 2010 NCAA Wrestling Championships by 44½ points in winning a third straight national title and 23rd overall since 1975. “It’s a lot more fun and it’s a lot more fun with the gap, the point spread, strings of victories, seniors going out the way they should,” Iowa coach Tom Brands said. “There’s a lot more to be content about as far as feeling good that there was a good job done. There was a good job done over the last three days for sure.” Iowa had five in the finals, crowned a trio of champions - redshirt-freshman Matt McDonough and seniors Brent Metcalf and Jay Borschel - and totaled eight All-Americans in amassing 134½ points. Cornell, led by national champion Kyle Dake at 141, finished a solid second with 90 points. Iowa State (75), Wisconsin (70½), Oklahoma (69) and Oklahoma State (65) rounded out the top six in the three-day tournament, which drew just more than 94,000 fans. The Outstanding Wrestler Award went to Minnesota senior Jayson Ness, a four-time All-American who finished his career with a title at 133 pounds. Ness (30-0) claimed gold with a four-point move in the final 10 seconds to beat Iowa’s Dan Dennis, 6-4. The Gopher, who lost in the 2008 NCAA finals at 125, trailed 4-2 and took an injury timeout right before turning a duck-under into a bear hug that finished with Dennis on his back.
