Iowa’s domination of Minnesota wrestling is over.

The Gophers upset fourth-ranked Iowa 21-16 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Friday to snap an 11-match losing streak against the Hawkeyes. It was Minnesota’s first win over its rival since 2014.

The key wins for seventh-ranked Minnesota were a pair of upsets from Drew Roberts at 149 pounds and Charlie Millard at 157 pounds.

Minnesota led 15-13 heading into the 184 pound match, where Max McEnelly scored a sudden victory over Gabe Arnold for the second straight year. McEnelly has now won nine straight matches and is 14-1 on the season.

Gavin Nelson won at 197 pounds to officially put the dual on ice.

The Gophers have a pair of road duals next weekend, wrestling at Rutgers on Friday and at Maryland on Sunday, Feb. 8.
