Highlights: No word on who is going to the CKLV. It seems though the entire roster is up in the air (though it probably actually isn’t). No word on 157/165. Holschlag will not be wrestling this weekend. That’s about it. Oh then there was this from 141 pounder Mikey Blockhus on why Schwab was…
Highlights: Points out the Clinic with over 70 kids that took place before the dual. Emphasizes how much better the team fought against Nebraska. Brings up Blockhus and how he fought to get off his back early in his match with Chad Red Jr. He wants Max Thomsen to give himself a little breathing room,…

The University of Northern Iowa Panthers lost a dual today to the Northwestern Wildcats, 24-21, in Evanston, Illinois. And along with that, returning All-American Jacob Holschlag went down with an apparent right knee injury in the first period of his first match of the season.

Lineup for Northwestern this Sunday: 125 – #14…

Get to see the six freshmen compete for the first time in college. 28-29 guys total for UNI, most of the squad.

It’s Doug Schwab’s tenth season as head coach of the UNI Panthers, and as he pointed out, time really does fly by. It seems like only 9 years ago that we saw him and his 2011 squad get his first win over McKendree at a dual in Northwestern. Anyway, media day was Monday, and while…

In a move that’s not exactly surprising, the Panther Wrestling Club announced Tuesday that Drew Foster would officially be added to the club. Foster, the 2019 NCAA National Champion at 184 pounds, competed for the PWC in New York earlier this month at the annual Beat the Streets fundraiser. He wrestled a short time, as…
