The top-ranked University of Iowa wrestling team won eight matches, including three by bonus points, to defeat eighth-ranked Oklahoma State, 30-7, on Sunday, January 11, 2015 in Gallagher-Iba Arena. The 30 points scored are the most by an Iowa team against Oklahoma State since 1995.

The Hawkeyes won the first five bouts to build a 19-0 lead, and besides a couple hiccups at 165 and 184, dominated the Cowboys to earn their largest win in the series since a 31-3 victory in 1995. It is the second year in a row Iowa won eight-of-10 matches against the Cowboys.

“You win eight matches in Stillwater, it’s good to build on, and we have to keep moving forward,” said UI head coach Tom Brands. “We have a lot of work to do. This is a good performance but we have to keep building. There is a lot of work to do.”

The Hawkeyes (8-0, 3-0) return to the mat Friday, Jan. 16 hosting No. 13 Illinois on Mediacom Mat inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Admission is $12 for adults and $8 for youth 18 and younger. UI students and children five-years old and younger are admitted free.
