Kyle Biscoglia - Jace Koelzer To Clash At Night Of Conflict 3
Two-time Iowa state champion Kyle Biscoglia is returning to the Night of Conflict presented by Rudis on Oct. 13 and taking on top-10 ranked Jace Koelzer from Kansas in a 113lb matchup.

Biscoglia, who is in search of win No. 2 at our event, defeated Cody Phippen by a score of 4-2 in the inaugural NOC at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa, last year. The seventh-ranked Phippen, of course, is also coming back to Night of Conflict and will be facing Aden Reeves at 113lb.

One of the state's top wrestlers in the class of 2018, Biscoglia has racked up a number of accolades during his time at Waukee. In addition to winning back-to-back state titles at 113lb in 3A, Biscoglia has garnered top finishes at national tournaments as well: Corn Cob Nationals, Folkstyle Nationals, USA Wrestling's Freestyle Nationals, UWW Cadet Nationals, and Super 32. With Biscoglia being a constant presence at earning podium finishes on the national scene, it's little surprise that he came in at No. 7 in this summer's Fab 50 rankings, which ranks all Iowa high school wrestlers regardless of grade. FloWrestling also ranks Biscoglia No. 18 at 113lb and 100th overall in the class of 2018.

Coming in from Olathe, KS, is the ninth-ranked Koelzer, who is looking to up his stock coming off a summer that saw him double up in All-American honors at Fargo. Additional accolades for Koelzer include being a two-time Kansas state medalist and the 2016 Preseason Nationals runner-up. He was also a double All-American at Fargo as a cadet.

This will not be the first meeting between these two wrestlers, as Biscoglia beat Koelzer by major decision at the 2015 Council Bluffs Wrestling Classic.
