AMES, Iowa – No. 14 Iowa State (9-4, 4-1 Big 12) rattled off six-straight wins Friday night, as the Cyclones beat Arizona State (4-7, 1-5 Big 12) 26-15 at Hilton Coliseum. The victory was the 250th career dual meet win for Iowa State Head Coach Kevin Dresser, including his 90th as a Cyclone.
The Sun Devils jumped out to an early 6-0 lead, as No. 2 Richard Figueroa won by fall in 1:55 over Ethan Perryman at 125 pounds. Figueroa held a 6-1 lead before recording the first period fall.
At 133 pounds, No. 5 Evan Frost trailed Julian Chlebove 1-0 into the third period but rallied for a 5-1 victory. Frost escaped and then earned the matches' only takedown with 1:25 remaining. Frost finished with 1:53 in advantage time for another point. It was the ninth-straight win for Frost, who picked up the 50th win of his career.
The Frost brothers continued their winning ways, as No. 11 Jacob Frost picked up a 6-1 victory over Emilio Ysaguirre at 141 pounds. Frost trailed 1-0 entering the third period before securing the victory with an escape, takedown, point for stalling and 1:35 of advantage of time. Just like his brother, Jacob earned his ninth-straight victory, as he now has a team-leading 23 on the year.
At 149 pounds, No. 7 Paniro Johnson won his 12th-straight match, as he beat No. 21 Jesse Vasquez 10-4. Johnson recorded a takedown in second period to take the lead for good before adding a pair of takedowns in the third period. Johnson improved to 9-0 at 149 pounds this season and 18-3 overall.
In the most electrifying match of the night, Carter Fousek trailed 6-0 in the first period at 157 pounds before coming back to tie the match at 8-8 with 1:06 remaining. Fousek then put Pierson Manville on this back with a cradle, recording the fall in 6:07. In his Hilton Coliseum debut, Fousek notched his first-career dual meet victory.
At 165 pounds, Aiden Riggins recorded a takedown in each of the three periods, as he cruised to a 21-7 major decision against Javani Majoor. Riggins totaled four takedowns in the third period, and six in the match, for his fourth major decision of the season. Â
No. 21 MJ Gaitan notched a pair of takedowns in the first period, including one at the buzzer, as he beat Joseph Manfredi by 15-5 major decision. A pair of takedowns in the third period gave Gaitan his second major decision of the season. Â Iowa State's run of six-straight victories came to an end at 184 pounds, as Shay Addison defeated Nando Villaescusa by fall in 5:38. Addison led 13-1 when he recorded the fall.
Iowa State got back on track at 197 pounds, as Nate Schon beat Jacob Meissner 7-4.
