Brands battled to escape, reverse, etc., but Jordan would have none of it riding him out for the three points. The win closed the team score to 13-12 in favor of the second-ranked Hawkeyes, but the Mocs could not get the wins necessary over the final three weights to earn the victory.
 
Jordan is now 6-1 on the year sharing the team's wins lead with 133 Brayden Palmer (6-2) and 141 Dayne Dalrymple (6-5). The Mocs are back in action Friday at Gardner-Webb facing SIUE and Clarion.
