UNI improved to 5-4 overall, 5-0 in the Big 12. Oklahoma fell to 5-5 overall and 1-3 in the Big 12.

At 125 pounds, Jay Schwarm wrapped up his strongest weekend of performances to date this season with a fall over No. 17 Rico Montoya of Northern Colorado on Friday and another fall today over Christian Moody.

Today's pin put Schwarm on the top-10 list among all Panthers for career falls with 29. Schwarm has pinned 21 of his opponents in the first period.

A last-second takedown gave OU's Tony Madrigal the 6-4 edge over Jack Skudlarczyk to close the team score gap, 6-3, in favor of UNI after two weights.

UNI's No. 6 Josh Alber prevailed at 141 pounds in the only top-10 matchup of the weekend with a decision over No. 10 Dom Demas, extending his win streak to 12 matches.
