No. 3 Hawkeyes hammer Maryland on the mat, 48-0

IOWA CITY — The third-ranked Iowa wrestling team scored bonus points in eight of 10 matches to blank Maryland on Friday, 48-0, at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

The Hawkeyes used a 46-1 advantage in takedowns to record their first Big Ten shutout since a 44-0 win at Michigan State in January of 2017.

Pat Lugo opened the dual with 10 takedowns in a 23-8 technical fall at 149 pounds. Kaleb Young scored two takedowns and two nearfall points in the first period at 157 and went on to a 10-4 decision.

The Hawkeyes extended their team lead to 20-0 with consecutive falls at 165 and 174 by Alex Marinelli and Mitch Bowman.

Cash Wilcke scored nine takedowns in the final four minutes to earn a 23-9 major decision at 184. It was Iowa’s fourth bonus-point win and gave the Hawkeyes a 24-0 win at the break.

Jacob Warner scored 11 takedowns in a 29-0 technical fall at 197. No. 7 Sam Stoll’s third-period escape was the difference in a 1-0 win against No. 9 Yousiff Hemida at 285.

Spencer Lee and Paul Glynn strung together first-period falls at 125 and 133, and Max Murin put the final touches on the evening with a 12-3 major decision at 141.
