    Iowa State hosts Cal Poly

    AMES, Iowa -- The seventh-ranked Iowa State (3-2, 0-0) wrestling team will return to action Sunday at 2 p.m. against No. 23 Cal-Poly (2-0, 2-0) in Hilton Coliseum. The Cyclones last met the Mustangs in the during the 2003-04 season, with ISU winning, 18-16. Iowa State leads the all-time series, 10-2. Former Iowa State NCAA champion and four-time All-American, Joe Heskett (1998-2002), is an assistant coach for Cal-Poly.

    The Cyclones are looking to snap a two-dual losing streak after suffering losses to both Iowa, 20-15, and Minnesota, 21-13. ISU was upended by the Golden Gophers last week in Minneapolis, but got wins from second-ranked Nate Gallick (141), No. 6 Travis Paulson (165), No. 5 Kurt Backes (184) and true freshman, Joe Curran (197). Gallick (10-0) and Paulson (14-0) remain undefeated, while Curran improved to 4-0 in dual action.

    Cal-Poly defeated Portland State, 39-6, Wednesday to improve to 2-0 in both dual and Pac-10 action. The Mustangs have five ranked wrestlers, Chad Mendes (125), All-American Darrell Vasquez (133), Jeff Owens (149), NCAA qualifier Ryan Halsey (184) and Matt Monteiro (197).
