EVANSTON, Ill. - Iowa senior right-hander Troy Wulf pitched a three-hit complete game shutout as the Hawkeyes (22-31, 6-19 Big Ten) defeated Northwestern (21-29, 7-18 Big Ten) on Saturday afternoon at Rocky Miller Park, 3-0.

Iowa opened the scoring with one run in the top of the first. Leadoff hitter Jason Edgecombe walked and later scored on a ground out by first baseman Brad Carlson. The Hawkeyes added two insurance runs in the top of the eighth on a two-run homer by Carlson, his 18th of the season.
