November 04, 2026
Centerville, IA – The two-time defending national champions put on a clinic Wednesday night at the Multi-Purpose Building as the Indian Hills Men’s Wrestling squad toppled Southeastern Community College 55-0 in Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) action on its home mat.
Making their home debut for the 2026-27, the Warriors, who have captured back-to-back National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Men’s Wrestling National Championships, Indian Hills secured all 10 bouts Wednesday night via bonus point victories. The Warriors saw two pins and four tech falls to go along with three forfeit victories.
The win marked the third-largest margin of victory in program history and the fourth shutout in program history. The Warriors have now posted seven matches in the last four years with at least 50 team points in a dual victory.
The Warriors were led early on by Ashton Grace (Ottumwa, IA/Ottumwa) who ran away with a 16-1 tech fall at 133lbs before fellow TJ Silva (Rockton, IL/Hononegah) secured a 15-0 tech fall at 141lbs.
Freshman Shea Morris (Haverhill, MA/New York Military Academy) made a splash in his collegiate dual debut with a pin in 1:25 to put Indian Hills ahead 22-0. Brady Patterson (Atkins, IA/Benton) picked up his first collegiate dual victory at 157lbs with a 17-1 tech fall while Gustavo Ferreira (Viera, FL/Cocoa Beach) blanked his opponent 16-0 at 165lbs.
Returning All-American Matteo Monteiro (Rueil-Malmaison, France/La Salle Passy Buzenval) posted a 16-0 tech fall at 197lbs before sophomore Tuff Johnston (Kansas City, MO/Winnetonka) closed out the night with an impressive pin at 285lbs, needing just 2:31 of mat time to cap the night.
The Warriors continue ICCAC action with a trip to Mason City, IA to take on North Iowa Area Community College at 7:00 PM on November 11.
