As Gopher Wrestling looks ahead to the 2020-21 season, GopherSports.com reflects on the top moments from the 2019-20 campaign.

First up is Minnesota's dominating 38-9 win at Indiana on Super Bowl Sunday. The Gophers racked up 38 team points with the help of four pins. 

Bailee O'Reilly gave the Gophers a 9-0 lead with his second-period fall at 165 pounds. After Devin Skatzka's technical fall at 174, Owen Webster, Hunter Ritter and Gable Steveson followed with back-to-back-to-back pins to put the Hoosiers away.

Notable: Brandon Eggum earned his 40th career win as head coach of the Golden Gophers, while Minnesota improved to 49-5-1 all-time against the Hoosiers.

Quotable: "To put more points on the board is always a great feeling to me. I feel like that's what I did this week and a lot of other guys on the team did too," – Gable Steveson.
