And Away We Go

The University of Iowa Hawkeyes’ home opener is tomorrow night in historic Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Our Hawks take on Bellarmine University at 6:00 pm.

Get out of work a bit early and join us prior to the match in downtown Iowa City at SpoCo (Sports Column) for our first Pre-Match Social of the year! Doors open at 3:00 pm. Mingle with other loyal fans, enjoy ice-cold beverages, and win some awesome prizes! Full Pre-Match Social Schedule here.

We’re so excited to see how our team competes tomorrow and all season long. It’s been a productive off season for training and recruiting top-level talent to Iowa City. Our team is very balanced with a mix of veteran leadership (Ayala, Caliendo, Kennedy) and young talent (Kueter, Ferrari, DeLuca) adorning the black & gold!

We have 6 home duals this season and most certainly the toughest schedule in the nation. The path to a national championship is Simple… Not Easy. Check out our full schedule on the University of Iowa website.

Club Update

Austin DeSanto recently wrestled on the RAF 02—Real American Freestyle—card against Nico Megaludis, winning 10-0! Read all about the event and how Austin secured his first RAF card victory here!

Spencer Lee will be taking the mat again in late November as he was just added to the RAF 03 card on Saturday, Nov. 29 in Chicago, IL! You can buy tickets here!
