IOWA CITY, Iowa — A top-five victory by freshman Drake Ayala and string of bonus-point wins sent the top-ranked University of Iowa wrestling team past No. 15 Purdue, 36-4, on Sunday afternoon at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

The Hawkeyes scored bonus points in five matches and won nine-of-10 overall to extend their winning streak to 26 straight duals, the longest in the country.

After falling to a top 10 opponent in his Carver-Hawkeye Arena debut on Friday, Ayala responded Sunday with takedowns in the second and third periods, forcing a stall call and piling up more than three minutes of riding time in a 6-1 win over No. 5 Devin Schroder.

“I just kept looking at my coaches and they kept telling me to keep him down, so that’s I what I did,” Ayala said. “I’m learning a lot every day. I’m pretty young, so being in here, it’s a learning experience. It’s fun. I love it.”

The top-ranked Hawkeyes travel to Evanston, Illinois to face No. 23 Northwestern on Friday, Jan. 13 at 7 p.m. (CT).

The Iowa women’s basketball team pick up a road win at Nebraska 95-86 on Sunday afternoon. McKenna Warnock poured in 5 threes in the first half to help the Hawkeyes jump out to the lead.

Warnock finished with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Caitlin Clark recorded her 16th career double-double with 31 points and 12 assists.

Iowa heads to West Lafayette, Indiana, on Thursday, Jan. 13 to take on the Purdue Boilermakers. Tipoff is set for 6 p.m. (CT) on B1G+.

Nick Bolton returned a fumble 86-yards for a go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter and the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Denver Broncos 28-24 on Saturday.

The win keeps the Chiefs’ hopes alive for the top overall seed in the AFC. They need a win by the Houston Texans over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday to put them back on top of the Conference.

Patrick Mahomes threw for 270 yards and 2 touchdowns to help the Chiefs to their 12th win of the season. Mecole Hardman led Chiefs receivers with 103 yard on 8 catches in the game.

Drew Lock started at quarterback for the Broncos and threw for 162 yards, but it was his feet that were the issue. Lock finished with just 35 yards rushing but scored 2 touchdowns. The Broncos were leading 21-17 and driving into Chiefs territory when Bolton came up with the big scoop and sore.

It was the 13th straight victory for the Chiefs over the division-rival Broncos.
