North Dakota State vs. Iowa State

Iowa State Men's Wrestling edged North Dakota State Men's Wrestling 27-12 in the dual on December 15, 2024 at an unknown location. The Cyclones piled up bonus points across multiple weight classes, and those emphatic finishes proved decisive in building a two-score lead.

Jacob Frost's 17-2 technical fall at 141 pounds was the first big margin of the day, earning Iowa State five team points and signaling that bonus scoring would be a factor. Cody Chittum followed with a fall at 157 pounds, adding six more team points and swinging the dual further in Iowa State's direction with a pin that removes any need for late scoreboard drama.

Aiden Riggins kept the pressure on at 174 pounds with a 12-2 major decision, picking up four more team points and widening the gap. Daniel Herrera closed out the heavier end of the lineup with a pin at 285 pounds, another six-team-point victory that effectively sealed the outcome and boosted the Cyclones' total.

Those four bonus-point victories accounted for 21 of Iowa State's 27 team points, and that accumulation of tech fall, majors, and falls created a margin North Dakota State could not overcome. With the bulk of the scoring coming from decisive finishes rather than narrow decisions, Iowa State walked away with a comfortable 15-point win.
