Iowa won 18 of 20 matches while defeating Hofstra 42-0 and topping Bucknell 34-9 in the inaugural Grapple at the Garden on Sunday. Ohio State routed Hofstra 38-3 and Maryland 34-3.
The Hawkeyes host the Buckeyes on Jan. 4 in a matchup of two of the nation's best teams.
Maryland earned a split of its two duals when Carl Buchholz edged Nebraska's Donny Longendyke in overtime to give the Terrapins an 18-17 victory over the Cornhuskers.
