Iowa State wrestling wins fourth dual in a row, secures eight of 10 bouts vs. Oklahoma

Iowa State wrestling won its fourth dual in a row, securing a dominant 25-6 victory over the Oklahoma Sooners at home on Friday.

The Cyclones won eight of 10 bouts, with a 9-0 major decision from Evan Frost at 133 pounds over Cleveland Belton leading the way.

After Iowa State’s Ethan Perryman dropped a 5-2 decision to Antonio Lorenzo, Frost’s major decision carried over into a 10-4 decision for his twin Jacob Frost at 141 pounds over Mosha Schwartz. Paniro Johnson wrestled a tough match vs. Willie McDougald, with his takedown securing the 4-2 decision at 149 pounds. Former Linn-Mar star Kane Naaktgeboren won his first dual as a Cyclone over Layton Schneider in an 8-3 decision to put the Cyclones up 13-3 at intermission.

Iowa State kept rolling, with wins by decision for Aiden Riggins at 165 over Tate Picklo (7-3), 7-2 decisions for MJ Gaitan at 174 over Gaven Sax. Evan Bockman took down Eli Cordy at 184 and finally the Cyclones secured a 14-7 decision for Nate Schon over former Hawkeye Bradley Hill at 197. However, Oklahoma got a 4-2 win by decision from Juan Mora over freshman Daniel Herrera at heavyweight to end an otherwise strong day for Iowa State.

Despite significant injuries, Iowa State had six-ranked wins in the dual with three of those being top-20 or better wins. Gaitan’s win was particularly impressive, beating No. 8 Sax.
