CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – The University of Northern Iowa wrestling team finished the day with a dual record of 1-2 Saturday at the Northwestern Duals in Evanston, Ill. The Panthers opened the day with a 22-12 win over Eastern Michigan before falling to Purdue 24-9 and Stanford 19-12.

“Today was great competition for our guys,” UNI head coach Brad Penrith said. “We’re really still trying to figure out our lineup. We tried some different lineups today, now we just need to make some adjustments. As far as the wrestling went, our mat awareness was lacking today, we’ll need to really work on that in practice.”
