Junior 133-pounder Mike Kremer of Independence, ranked No. 10, senior 149-pounder Jacob Groth of Marshalltown, ranked No. 8, and senior heavyweight John Helgerson of West Union, ranked No. 1, each won by technical fall.
The Orange and Black, upping their consecutive league dual win streak to 143, allowed only 21 escapes from the visiting Dutch (0-2, 0-2 IIAC). Wartburg ended the night with 34 takedowns, five escapes, three reversals and 15 nearfalls.
