Iowa clinches in consolations

Iowa claimed its 24th NCAA team title and first since 2010 hours before its three finalists even took the mat. The Hawkeyes posted a 6-1 mark in consolation matches to clinch the championship by Saturday afternoon.

'Our team came out and we faced some adversity,' Iowa's third-place heavyweight Tony Cassioppi said, 'but to still pull it out and scoring as many points as we are, wrestling as hard as we are, that's awesome.'

Austin DeSanto (133), Jacob Warner (197) and Cassioppi opened the round with consolation semifinal victories. DeSanto added a technical fall and Cassioppi recorded a major decisions for bonus points.

'For me, team race-wise, it was just scoring points for our team,' DeSanto said. 'If we need the major, get the major. If we need the tech, get the tech, a pin get the pin, but wrestling tough.'

DeSanto won his third-place bout, Kaleb Young was seventh at 157. When Penn State failed to earn pins in its last two medal matches and Cassioppi toppled Arizona State's No. 3 Cohlton Schultz for third, the team race was settled.

'I feel good,' Cassioppi said. 'It's the next best thing I could get. It's not what I want to be. I don't want to be third place. I want to be first place.

'After that loss in the semis, I had to just refocus on getting the next best thing and climbing that podium.'
