CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - The University of Northern Iowa dominated Ellsworth Community College in its first home dual of the season, winning 46-9.
UNI recorded two technical falls and six pins, which all came in less than 3 minutes, 30 seconds. Ellsworth's points came from a forfeit in the 125-pound weight class and a match won by decision.
"Levi Wolfensperger started it, and then you get that steamroll going," said head coach Doug Schwab. "We look forward to doing that with every team that comes in here."
Bart Reiter, at 149 pounds, competed for the first time this season for the Panthers. He won with a pin in 1:16.
Each of the four returning NCAA national qualifiers won by pins, Wolfensperger at 133 pounds (9-2), David Bonin at 157 pounds (15-3), Ryan Loder at 184 pounds (11-1) and Blayne Beale at 285 pounds (6-2 record).
Jarrett Jensen was the sixth Panther to record a fall.
Joey Lazor faced Tyler Lashbrook in the 141-pound weight class for the second time in less than a week. After winning a close match with Lashbrook at the UNI Open last Saturday, Lazor earned a technical fall to help fuel the Panthers' winning streak.
Cody Caldwell also got a technical fall at 174 pounds.
UNI improves to 1-1 on the season for duals and will head to the Midlands tournament Dec. 29.
"It's good to go home on a high note and be able to relax before we build onto that going into Midlands," Schwab said. "That tournament will give our guys a chance to make a mark nationally."
