College Wrestling: Iowa Announces Non-Conference Schedule:

The Iowa wrestling program have finalized their 2021-22 nonconference schedule.

The Hawkeyes will begin their season against Ivy League foe Princeton on November 19th before welcoming in Oregon State on November 27th.

Their annual matchup with Iowa State will be December 5th.

They’ll also battle in several tournaments, including the Rofkin Duals in Destin, Florida and the Midlands Championships in Hoffman Estates, Illinois — both of which over the holiday break.

Iowa, of course, are the defending NCAA champions after seeing seven earn All-American honors a year ago.

It was the 24th team title in program history.
