Sophomore Mark Perry (174) was awarded the Manuel Gorrarian Award for most pins in the least time. Perry picked up four falls in 15:33.
Senior Ty Eustice (149) was Iowa's lone representative in the finals, and was defeated by Minnesota's top-seeded freshman Dustin Schlatter.
With 1:18 left in the first period, Schlatter hit the only takedown of the match to take a 2-0 lead.
Eustice chose neutral to start the second and got in deep on a single leg midway through the period, but Schlatter managed to fight his way out and keep the two-point lead.
Eustice cut Schlatter loose to begin the third period, giving his opponent a 3-0 lead, and was unable to get in on a shot the rest of the way.
The finals were held in front of 16,394 fans. The total attendance for the weekend was 95,501, the second-highest total in NCAA history.
