After a crushing 29-3 loss at the hands of Oklahoma State, ISU wrestling coach Kevin Jackson is looking for more than a win.

Iowa State travels to the West Coast and warm temperatures Feb. 1 to take on Arizona State. The Cyclones will be looking for a win, a bit of redemption and more stability before the final stretch heading into the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments.

“I’m still looking for that 10-man breakout performance where we really start rolling at this part of the season,” Jackson said. “We’re looking for that performance where we can come off the mat and be very excited and happy that we competed really well as a team.”

Iowa State’s (7-3, 1-2 Big 12) last win was a 22-13 victory against Rutgers Jan. 17, which came after a two-dual losing streak. The Cyclones started the season 5-0 before being tripped up by No. 2 Iowa for their first loss of the year.

Gabe Moreno, a redshirt freshman at 141 pounds, sums up Iowa State’s needs in one simple phrase.

“We need to get the ball rolling again,” Moreno said. “Against Rutgers, we looked good, but we didn’t reach our full potential and I think we’ve still yet to reach our full potential.”

Iowa State’s dual schedule does not get any easier after this weekend. After Arizona State, the Cyclones head north to take on in-state rival No. 8 Northern Iowa followed by a visit from No. 3 Minnesota in Ames Feb. 23.

Redshirt junior and 149-pounder Luke Goettl feels the dual against Arizona State has come at just the right time.

“We need to go out and have a performance where everybody goes out and wrestles to their full ability for the full seven minutes, just go out and scrap,” Goettl said. “Arizona State is a perfect team to go do that against … They’re struggling a bit as a team, but as of the last dual, so are we.”

The Sun Devils (6-5, 1-0 Pac-12) are fresh off a 21-15 win against Boise State, who, before the loss to the Sun Devils, held a No. 21 ranking. Last year, Arizona State came to Ames and was handed a 23-18 loss.

“It’ll be a challenge,” Jackson said. “They came here last year and gave us a really tough match and wrestled a lot tougher than we thought they would, and at the same time [now] they’re at home and they’re looking to win, so it will be a challenge just like every match.“
