BLOOMINGTON, Ind. ––– No. 25 Indiana defended home turf well on Monday (Jan. 26) afternoon, topping Michigan State in a 32-13 win at Wilkinson Hall.

After falling in a shutout on Friday at No. 1 Penn State and having the dual pushed back a day due to inclement weather, the Hoosiers responded with a big dual win to push their season record to 7-3 and 2-2 in the Big Ten.

KEY MOMENTS
• It only took No. 11 Jacob Moran (125) 4 minutes and 30 seconds to get IU bonus points with his 19-4 tech fall win over Nick Corday.
• After Michigan State's win in sudden victory at 133 lbs., No. 25 Henry Porter (141) earned Indiana another tech fall with his 20-3 (6:45) win over Sean Larkin to make it 10-3 in the team score.
• Bryce Lowery's (157) 4-2 decision win against Darius Marines made it 13-7 at intermission.
• Indiana followed intermission with three-straight bonus-point victories including two tech falls and a pin. No. 19 Tyler Lillard (165) and No. 29 Derek Gilcher (174) had the tech falls and No. 13 Sam Goin won by fall.
• No. 15 Gabe Sollars (197) did not allow a point in his ranked matchup with No. 27 Kael Wisler. He used an escape and second-period takedown to go up 4-0 and never looked back.

NOTABLES
• The win marks four-straight seasons that Indiana has won seven or more duals in a season, dating back to the 2022-23 season. It's the first time that feat has been achieved since 2010-2014 (2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14).
• The 32 team points marked the second time this season that Indiana eclipsed the 3-0-point mark in dual action. It's also the sixth time it has scored 25 or more in a dual. The last 30-point outing was in the 33-7 win over Central Michigan (Dec. 5).
• Indiana won five matches in bonus-point fashion, including four wins by tech fall.
• Sollars' win over No. 27 Wisler marked his second ranked win of the season.
• Michigan State head coach Roger Chandler was a three-time All-American at Indiana and was the national runner-up at 142 lbs. in 1997.
• Indiana has won three-straight duals against Michigan State dating back to 2024.
