The No. 22 Wisconsin Badgers (9-6 overall, 3-5 B1G) traveled to the No. 3 Iowa Hawkeyes (11-2, 6-2 B1G), coming out on the short end of a 34-7 dual meet score.

Let’s hit the highlights first.

In the highly anticipated top-ten contest between No. 5 Dean Hamiti and No. 7 Mike Caliendo, Hamiti cooled down the All-American candidate, scoring from pretty much everywhere.

The Badger never felt in danger of losing despite the close-looking 14-11 final score. This type of high level action is so much more fun to watch than a 1-0, nothing happens type match.
