NC State wrestling hands No. 2 Iowa its first loss of season

The tail end of senior heavyweight Nick Gwiazdowski's career is starting to become a little ridiculous, even by story-book standards. The two-time national champion was the deciding factor in NC State's dual against No. 5 Missouri a week ago, and he was the deciding factor again on Monday night, at No. 2 Iowa. Gwizz helped the Wolfpack deliver a historic victory over the Hawkeyes, 21-17.

It's difficult to put the brilliance of State's wrestling team into perspective, especially for a layman like me. NC State has had standout, national-title winning wrestlers before. NC State has won a lot of ACC titles.
