  "account": "In Brent Metcalf's first wrestling dual as Iowa State head coach, the Cyclones began with a 1-0 record against Bucknell. Iowa State won seven of the 10 bouts, including two technical falls by Evan Frost and Jacob Frost, and a major decision by Paniro Johnson. Freshman Dru Ayala made his Cyclone debut with a 5-2 decision win over Jackson Heslin, with a notable single-leg takedown. Meanwhile, Garrett Grice also contributed with an 8-2 victory over Blue Stiffler.\n\nThe Frost brothers, Evan and Jacob, led the match, with Evan earning five takedowns and three near-fall points in his 141-pound debut and Jacob winning a 21-3 technical fall. Paniro Johnson returned from a neck injury with a major decision over Ryan Lawler. The Bison's strength was in the 165-197-pound weight class, where Iowa State lost to ranked opponents 1-3. However, Iowa State's remaining wrestlers put on strong performances, including 184-pounder Sawyer Bartelt's narrow loss, 197-pounder Brayden Thompson's setback, and true freshman heavyweight Coby Merrill's 6-2 decision in his college debut.",
