The No. 2 seed, Lindenwood-St. Charles did not yield a match in a dominating run Friday topping South Florida, Auburn and Georgia. The Lions will face No. 7 seed Apprentice on Saturday.
In a match between long-time NCWA programs, third-seeded Central Florida will take on No. 6 Grand Valley State. Central Florida is the only program to reach the National Duals finals twice in its four-year history, and Grand Valley State won the initial Duals in 2009.
Liberty University, the defending Duals champion and competing in its second year in the NCWA, advanced through three matches as the fourth seed, and faces fifth-seed Lindenwood-Belleville in the quarterfinals. Lindenwood-Belleville survived a scare from Massachusetts Institute of Technology before clinching the match late in a 32-23 win in the third round.
The tournament continues through the championship finals at 5 p.m.
The NCWA is also hosting a high school division again, as Auburn (Ala.), Fort Campbell (Ky.), Wayne County (Monticello, Ky.) and Pigeon Forge (Tenn.) will wrestle a round-robin tournament alongside the colleges beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday.
