HUMBOLDT – Iowa State put on a show inside Humboldt High School, the alma mater of head coach Kevin Dresser, blanking NAIA powerhouse Grand View, 40-0. The Cyclones won all 10 matches and earned bonus points in five.
ISU has now won 18 consecutive duals, the fourth-longest streak in school history. The Cyclones snapped Grand View’s 116 dual win streak, the longest ever at any level of collegiate wrestling, which began in 2013.
“It felt great to be back in Humboldt,” Dresser said. “This place is home and they have always treated me and our program well. We wrestled well but this team has to get better in the next couple of weeks. We’re still making technical mistakes that needs to be cleaned up. Our guys had to come out and wrestle as heavy favorites today which can be hard to do when they’re coming after you with everything they have.”
How it Happened
No. 19 Kysen Terukina started things off with a decision over reigning NAIA national champion Esco Walker, 5-2, at 125 pounds. Terukina notched a pair of takedowns in the match, including one with five seconds remaining to seal the victory.
Ramazan Attasauov made his first appearance in the Iowa State lineup this season at 133 pounds and defeated Grand View’s Carson Taylor, 7-3. Attasauov racked up two minutes of riding time in the win.
At 141 pounds, No. 15 Casey Swiderski gave up a first-period takedown to Shea Ruffridge but got stronger as the match went on. The freshman picked up five third-period takedowns in a 14-8 decision for the Cyclones.
