Iowa on the stage

After they won their 22nd team title. Metcalf's finals appearance along with the backside performances of wrestlers like Ryan Morningstar and Dan Erekson won Iowa the team title. Dan Ereksons' clutch performance in the round of 12 when he was down by 2 with 12 seconds to go against Fendone of Edinboro came out to be one of the tournament changers. Needless to say he came back and won in OT and from there scored more than enough Team points for Iowa. Ryan Morningstar came through big time in the clutch with 4 overtime victories and another decision. Many thought that Iowa was out of contention after the quarters but showed no sign of quit and regained momentum in the wrestle backs.
