The stage is now officially set for next week's highly-anticipated battle between Iowa's two Big 12 wrestling programs.
Both the Iowa State and Northern Iowa wrestling teams won again on Saturday. The 13th-ranked Cyclones took out Air Force, 27-12, at Hilton Coliseum in Ames while the 22nd-ranked Panthers walloped West Virginia, 31-10, at the West Gym in Cedar Falls.
Iowa State is now 13-1 overall and 6-0 against the Big 12 Conference, and has won 11 consecutive dual meets, the second-longest active streak in the nation. Northern Iowa, once 0-4, is now 7-5 overall and 6-2 against the Big 12, and has won six in a row.
