Â
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – UNI wrestling wraps up a three-dual home stand with two Big 12 Conference meets this weekend.
Â
The only top-15 matchup expected this week is with No. 6 Josh Alber and No. 11 Dom Demas of Oklahoma. Headed into the weekend, Alber needs just one win for 100 career victories. Alber has beat 17 top-20 wrestlers so far in his career, including last week's decision over No. 3 Jaydin Eierman of Missouri.
Â
His win over Eierman helped him earn Big 12 Wrestler of the Week honors this week. He became the third Panther to earn the title this season. He is currently 20th among all Panthers in UNI history for career victories. He follows on the heels of David Bonin, the last Panther to receive at least 100 wins at UNI.
Â
The senior has earned three trips to the NCAA tournament.
Â
Jay Schwarm is also on the verge of a milestone. The Panther needs two falls to crack the top 10 for most career falls among any Panther.
Â
The first set of NCAA rankings will be released Thursday. Oklahoma will face Iowa State Friday.
Â
ÂÂÂ149: UNI's Max Thomsen is 1-1 with Davion Jeffries of Oklahoma. He beat Jeffries 3-2 in last year's dual. Jeffries beat Thomsen in a 7-2 decision in a 2017 dual.
HWT: Panther Carter Isley beat Robert Winters to open the Big 12 Championships last year. He won in a 4-2 decision over the Northern Colorado wrestler.
