IOWA CITY, Iowa - The UIC men's gymnastics team took to the road for the first time this season, falling to Big Ten foe Iowa by a 329.550-326.550 margin.

Event winners for the Flames include sophomore David Mohr on the pommel horse (13.85) and juniors Nikolai Korepanov on the rings (15.30) and Andrew Stover on the horizontal bar (14.00).
