Cael Sanderson’s top-ranked wrestling team made quick work of No. 2 Iowa last Friday night in State College, winning 30-8 before a sellout crowd. Obviously, PSU remains No. 1 in the updated InterMat team rankings.

No. 1 Penn State and coach Cael Sanderson lost out on the nation's top 2026 recruit, Johnstown's Bo Bassett. He'll go to Iowa, instead.

The No. 2 Hawkeyes lost their fourth straight dual to No. 1 Penn State, which doesn’t sit well for the program or its supporters. The last time Iowa dropped more than three consecutive duals to the same Big Ten program was from 1963-68 when Michigan won six straight against the Hawkeyes.

STATE COLLEGE | No. 1 Penn State once again asserted its dominion over college wrestling, head-locking No. 2 Iowa 30-8 at the Bryce Jordan Center on Friday in a match that cemented the Nittany Lions atop the sport's hierarchy. Penn State wrestling won eight of 10 bouts, losing one with a missing starter, and dominated some of Iowa's top wrestlers.

There's no sugarcoating Iowa wrestling' s loss to No. 1 Penn State on Friday. The No. 2 Hawkeyes got walloped in a 30-8 loss on the road, dropping eight of 10 bouts. Coach Tom Brands didn't mince his words about his team's performance in State College, Pa.

The Iowa Hawkeyes wrestling program is reloading in a massive way. After having Spencer Lee as the face of the program during his dominant run through collegiate wrestling, the Hawkeyes have landed another key piece.

The No. 1 Nittany Lions overwhelmed the second-ranked Hawkeyes before an energized, sold-out crowd at the Bryce Jordan Center.

Iowa is looking to change the narrative with a win on Friday night. That won't be easy, though as the Hawkeyes have lost three straight and five of the last six to Penn State. With 10 wrestlers all ranked No. 7 or higher for the Nittany Lions, the path to an upset seems narrow for Iowa.
