Feb. 23, 1986. Iowa was ranked No. 1 in the nation, riding a 36-dual winning streak. The Cyclones, ranked second nationally under first-year head coach Jim Gibbons, had only one blemish on their slate so far - a 25-9 loss to the Hawkeyes in Iowa City just five weeks prior. In that dual, Iowa State managed only one victory and two draws.

The 158-pound bout pitted ISU's Bill Tate against Iowa's Royce Alger. Alger beat Tate 11-7 in the first meeting between the two.
