Northern Iowa wrestling coach Doug Schwab urged fans to attend this season’s home duals. The Panthers don’t host rival Iowa State or Big 12 Conference mainstays Oklahoma State and Oklahoma, but they do have one of the best wrestlers in the nation and a determined supporting cast.
UNI Coach Doug Schwab said his wrestlers wanted to compete and needed the opportunity as well. So, when the Midlands Championships was canceled for the second straight season, the Panthers decided to support the tournament that formed in its place.
