Match Notes for Iowa & Northwestern
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew

No top-20 wrestlers on NW's team.
NW is one of several teams that have taken a hit due to NIL.
From 2020 to 2022, they had 10 AAs. From 2023 to 2025, they've had 1, and he left for Michigan the following year.

just as a humorous aside, take a close look at the home town for Drake Ayala as listed in the guide.
I mean, I guess it's not a great thing to be a wrestler and be associated with "Dodge", but...It really took me 3 or 4 reads, smh.
A fair point - not necessarily good to be associated with either.
Yup. That very well may be another shutout for Penn State. I should look up the greatest number of dual meet shutouts in a season for D1. Edit: I went through Iowa's season records through the 1977 season and the most shutouts they have had in a season is eight in the 09-10 season w/ eight shutouts, but three of them were to non-D1 schools. I will have to check Oklahoma State later. Edit #2: In the 82-83 season Oklahoma State shows nine shutouts, but I could not find the teams they shutout. They took second to Iowa by 53 points at that year's NCAA tournament. Final edit: After much consternation and web browsing I finally found a site for Oklahoma State that listed every year's dual meet results since 1915! The teams they shutout in the 82-83 season were . . . No one knows because the only season not recorded is 1982-1983

Always start with a school’s media guide.

page 113.
Central Oklahoma, Northern Illinois, Illinois, Drake, Kentucky, New Mexico, BYU, Utah State, and Missouri.
Pretty wild that in mid-January, Penn State will send out 9 undefeated wrestlers in a dual and the tenth guy is 8-2.
Interesting. And further to another question asked somewhere about consecutive individual win matches, that site shows that 5 of those shutouts were consecutive, which is at least one data point on consecutive individual wins by a team's wrestlers. So, assuming OSU's 5 is the record (which may not be the case, but at least is one number greater than PSU's 3), the record may be somewhere between 50 and 68, depending on where the losses were on the two bookend matches.
Unusual also to me, we are favorites at 125 and not at 184.
4 of the 9 have a 100% bonus rate. Blaze, Davis, Mesenbrink, and Barr
Who actually authors notes? This week is particularly interesting.
Aaron officially announced done for the year and Endine exits the program, yet both are in the notes. I think on both cases the coaches 'probably' knew day(s) in advance. Maybe it's a PR admin in the athletic department? Who knows, but many examples of kids not even on the travel bus/plane in the notes, while others who actually travel and wrestle but aren't in the notes?
In the grand scene of things there is not much downside other than watering down KYPSW. Curious nonetheless.

Gracias! Percentage-wise, they had shutouts in
