FIRST PERIOD: Penn State's returning national champion Greg Kerkvliet picks up the first takedown of the match to earn a 3-0 with over two minutes to go in the period. He notched another takedown to end the period with a 6-1 lead in short time and assert his dominance at the start of this final match.

Most Penn State-Iowa wrestling matches are made for prime time but this one — the one at 7 p.m. Friday at sold-out Bryce Jordan Center on the Big Ten Network — has more of an edge to it.
