On a night to celebrate the Wolverines’ seniors, it was freshman Sergio Lemley who stole the show at 141 pounds, knocking off top-ranked Real Woods, 14-2, to hand the Hawkeye his first loss of the season and only his second in two years. Lemley, ranked 19th, broke the bout open with a pair of six-points moves — a second-period reversal to Woods’ back and, already in the driver’s seat late, a standing cradle for the takedown and four more back points in the final 15 seconds of the third. It was Lemley’s second straight ranked win; he improved to 13-4 on the season. … story at … Mgoblue.com/Hot-start-upsets-key-decisive-win-over-no-2-iowa-in-home-finale
