Simpson is now 400-368 since the program began in 1924. Simpson wrestled until 1928 before the program suspended operations until 1959. The victory marked the 196th and final dual victory for Storm head coach Ron Peterson who is going to resign at the end of the season. Peterson is the winningest coach in school history with a 196-106-2 record (a .647 winning percentage).
Simpson is off until Feb. 21 when the Storm compete in the Iowa Conference Championships in Waverly.
