IOWA CITY, Iowa — The National Wrestling Coaches Association announced Monday that the University of Iowa wrestling program will meet Edinboro University on Saturday, Feb. 18, at the 2017 NWCA Division I Dual Championship Series.
Edinboro, champions of the Eastern Wrestling League and ranked No. 24 in the USA Today/NWCA Division I Coaches Poll, host the third-ranked Hawkeyes at McComb Fieldhouse in Edinboro, Pennsylvania. The dual starts at 6 p.m. (CT) and will be streamed live on FloWrestling.com.
The Hawkeyes (12-2) are 7-0 all-time against the Fighting Scots (8-5), having won the last meeting 22-19 at Edinboro on Dec. 5, 2013.
The Iowa-Edinboro dual is one of eight in a Dual Championship Series that includes the top eight teams from the Big Ten against eight of the top schools from outside the conference.
