Just as a super quick note: earlier this week, we did put up a video of Metcalf in an interview. We said that he had 59 wins. We would like to correct that; he now has 60 straight wins.
Senior 125-pounder Charlie Falck upset defending NCAA champion Angel Escobedo
Indiana took on Iowa Friday night. And lost. Big surprise. That makes 37 straight dual victories for Iowa and they are 7-0 in the Big Ten this season. I’m pretty sure I can call this one and say they are going to stay number one and take the NCAA title this year as well. The final score of this match was Iowa 24, Indiana 12. They opened the match at the 125 lb mark with Iowa’s Charlie Falk, ranked fifth, going up against third-ranked Angel Escobedo. Falk took it 3-1, improving his record 19-2. After the 125 came the 133 pounders. Again, Iowa took the mat with Daniel Dennis, who gained a major decision over Matt Ortega, putting the Hawks ahead 7-0 and putting up his own ninth straight win.
Metcalf was able to get a tech fall over Nick Walpole at 149, scoring 19-4. This brought the Hawkeye’s up to an 11-3 lead for the night. He is now 28-0 this season alone but has, as we’ve said before, won 60 consecutive matches.
Other wins of the night came from Ryan Morningstar, Jay Borschel, Phillip Keddy and Chad Beatty.
