Impressive! From article:

Iowa won all 20 matches in the duals, with 13 technical falls, five pins and two wins by forfeit. Not one match point was conceded by a Hawkeye in any of the 20 bouts. The longest match was two minutes and eight seconds from 138-pounder Ella Schmit, with none of Iowa's matches lasting into the second period.

Every match wrestled was won by pin or tech fall, and none went into the 2nd period. Could not have been more dominant.

I went to the meet. Frankly, it was uncomfortable to watch. We have a super team of world ranked athletes, and the two other squads looked like girls from the local Y. Our first wrestler slammed a girl to the mat so hard that the opponent appeared to suffer a serious injury.

It is hard for them to find opponents near their level, but it needs to happen. I hope Oklahoma State and the others can be competitive.
