Penn State sophomore Tyler Kasak, the new No. 1 ranked wrestler at 157 pounds, was named Big Ten Wrestler of the Week for his performance in the top-ranked Nittany Lions’ 30-8 victory over No. 2 Iowa last Friday night at the Bryce Jordan Center.

The No. 2 Hawkeyes lost their fourth straight dual to No. 1 Penn State, which doesn’t sit well for the program or its supporters. The last time Iowa dropped more than three consecutive duals to the same Big Ten program was from 1963-68 when Michigan won six straight against the Hawkeyes.

STATE COLLEGE | No. 1 Penn State once again asserted its dominion over college wrestling, head-locking No. 2 Iowa 30-8 at the Bryce Jordan Center on Friday in a match that cemented the Nittany Lions atop the sport's hierarchy. Penn State wrestling won eight of 10 bouts, losing one with a missing starter, and dominated some of Iowa's top wrestlers.

Cael Sanderson’s top-ranked wrestling team made quick work of No. 2 Iowa last Friday night in State College, winning 30-8 before a sellout crowd. Obviously, PSU remains No. 1 in the updated InterMat team rankings.

The Hawkeyes and Nittany Lions are both off to 9-0 starts, with 3-0 records in Big Ten duals. Across the 10 bouts tonight, there are seven top-10 or better individual matches and four of Intermat's top-ranked wrestlers. Stick here for live updates, analysis and highlights from the dual.

No. 1 Penn State and coach Cael Sanderson lost out on the nation's top 2026 recruit, Johnstown's Bo Bassett. He'll go to Iowa, instead.

No. 1 Penn State puts its 65-match win streak to the test against No. 2 Iowa in the most-anticipated college wrestling match of the season.

Iowa is looking to change the narrative with a win on Friday night. That won't be easy, though as the Hawkeyes have lost three straight and five of the last six to Penn State. With 10 wrestlers all ranked No. 7 or higher for the Nittany Lions, the path to an upset seems narrow for Iowa.
