Lady Hawks crown 5 champs at Missouri Valley Open

[ZachJump]

Estrella 3-3 on Criteria -

If there was 5 seconds more left on the clock Maki would have won - she had the takedown - just wasn't able to complete it before the clock hit 0

Larramendy with the tech right at the end of the 2nd

Let's see:

7 wrestlers, 7 finalists, 5 champs, 2 runner-ups and the runner-ups lost to Hawkeyes....

Is that good???

Gets scary when you realize that most of them are true freshman wrestling girls that have been in college for a few years.

The girls in the room right now are the first in a long line of hammers to come. No way they don’t soar to new heights with the coaching and talent in that room. This is just the start of continued dominance. Pretty cool.

Is women’s wrestling limited to 9.9 scholarships like the men?

I’m pretty sure it isn’t an NCAA sanctioned sport, so no scholarship limits.

The level of Iowa Wrestling in Iowa city at Carver, if anything - will be Elevated with the addition of this womens team. Make no mistake wrestling fans, these girls are going to be setting the stage on fire and I’m 100% on board with supporting them just like any other Hawkeye. Go Hawks!

I was curious as to the level of competition. This obviously was a large field.

Going by the rankings I could find - this is who the girls beat over the weekend.

Knocked out 2 NAIA #1's - and 10 top 5

Each knocked off at least 1 top NAIA top 5 - except Estrella, who knocked off Makem who would easily be top 5 NAIA if in the NAIA.

Lady Hawks crown 5 champs at Missouri Valley Open

The University of Iowa Women’s Wrestling team made a bold statement in their first tournament of the season at the Missouri Valley Open in Marshall, Missouri. Iowa sent seven wrestlers to the tournament and walked away with five champs and two runner-ups. Only head to head matchups of teammates...

It is great to be an Iowa Wrestling fan.

Sorry if I missed the boat on this, however is there going to be any TV coverage on the women's team at all this year? Sorry again if I missed the discussion.
