Bellarmine @ Iowa

Iowa blanked Bellarmine 41-0 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City on November 6, 2025. The Hawkeyes piled up bonus points in the middle weights, turning a competitive dual into a shutout by halftime and cruising from there.

The most decisive result came at 157 pounds, where #7 Jordan Williams secured a fall over Jeb Prechtel to deliver six team points. That pin was a momentum swing, and it came in the stretch of the lineup where Iowa collected extra points.

Iowa’s ranked upperweights did the rest. At 133 pounds, #3 Drake Ayala posted a 19-4 technical fall for five team points. The trend continued at 165 and 174, where #2 Michael Caliendo (22-6 technical fall) and #2 Patrick Kennedy (19-4 technical fall) each added five-point bonus wins. Those bonus victories from ranked wrestlers built the gap quickly and left Bellarmine with little room to respond.

A run of bonus-point finishes through the middle weights decided the dual; a fall and multiple technical falls turned the meet into a rout and underscored Iowa’s depth in the heart of the lineup. The final 41-0 score reflected a night where the Hawkeyes’ high-end talent converted ranked matchups into maximum team value.
