BIG TEN WRESTLING TOURNAMENT SESSION ONE RECAP: IOWA IN 2ND PLACE

The first session is in the books and it went... OK for the Iowa Hawkeyes. They find themselves in 2nd place, with 68 points -- 6 points back of Penn State in first place (74 points). Both Iowa and Penn State have placed seven wrestlers in the semifinals, with three pivotal head-to-head match-ups to come in that round (at 125, 157, and 184). The difference between the two teams so far? Bonus points, of course. Penn State has racked up 15.5 bonus points so far, thanks to four pins, six major decisions, and a technical fall. Iowa has 10 bonus points so far, thanks to two pins, two technical falls, and three major decisions.
