KENT, Ohio – No. 18 UNI wrestling stayed perfect in the MAC with a 31-16 win over Kent State on the road today.
UNI improved to 9-2 overall and 6-0 in the conference. Kent State continues to look for a MAC win, falling 2-11 overall and 0-5 in the MAC.
The Panthers got falls from Jay Schwarm at 125 pounds, No. 8 Max Thomsen at 149 pounds and No. 10 Bryce Steiert at 165 pounds.
Steiert has won his last eight matches and has earned bonus points in the last six. Steiert and Thomsen also pinned their opponents Friday in a dual against Ohio.
Schwarm is now second on the team with the most falls. He has seven so far this season.
UNI also got bonus points from No. 14 Drew Foster, who notched his second major decision of the weekend.
Schwarm's pin and a Kent State forfeit gave the Panthers a 12-0 lead before Kent State would get a decision at 141 pounds. KSU's bonus points at 197 pounds, a decision at 157 pounds and a forfeit win at heavyweight wasn't enough to grab the dual from UNI.
UP NEXT
