The wait is finally over. 

Iowa women’s wrestling kicks off its home dual season on Sunday, November 12 with a quadrangular against the three other Division I programs: Lindenwood, Presbyterian, and Sacred Heart.

Lindenwood released its full schedule and the University of Iowa Quad stands out. Iowa coach Clarissa Chun referenced the quadrangular during an interview with Andy Hamilton at the NWCA convention.

Presbyterian added a women’s wrestling program during the 2019-20 season, while Sacred Heart is in its third season. Lindenwood is moving up from Division II to Division I. 

Presbyterian defeated Sacred Heart, 26-20, at the 2023 NWCA National Duals during the first dual between D1 women’s programs. 

All three teams participated at the 2023 National Collegiate Women’s Wrestling Championships and placed in the top 20.
