After Augie picked up a 6-2 decision at 125 pounds, Trevor Franklin (#2 NWCA) earned a 5-2 decision at 133 pounds to tie the dual at 3-3. Matt Paulus continued the momentum for UIU with a huge win at 141 pounds. Paulus defeated Brandon Charbonneau, who was 14-1 in his last fifteen duals prior to meeting the New Hampton, Iowa product.
Jordan Rinken held his own against the Vikings' Nate Herda, ranked #3 nationally, dropping a 3-1 sudden victory in the 149-pound bout.
With the score tied 6-6, Bryce Lumzy scored the biggest of Upper Iowa's wins on the night with a win by fall at 157 pounds in just 53 seconds. The quick pin gave the visitors a 12-6 lead midway through the dual.
Upper Iowa put the dual out of reach with wins by decision at 165, 174 and 184 pounds thanks to the efforts of Wade Gobin (#4 NWCA), Blake Sorensen and Mitch Schultz (#5 NWCA). Gobin picked up a 5-4 win and Sorensen followed with a 5-3 victory. Schultz made his first appearance on the mat since the National Duals and recorded an 8-2 win to push UIU's lead to 21-6.
After Augustana picked up six points at 197 pounds thanks to a forfeit, Jeremy Brazil toed the line for the final match of the night. Brazil trailed 3-2 in the final seconds and was in position for a winning takedown on the edge of the circle as time wound down, but the horn sounded before the Peacock freshman could score the winning points. Augie used the final decision to pull within six, but Upper Iowa registered the 21-15 win.
The Peaccocks will be back on the mat in Dorman Gym to close out their regular season on Sunday, Feb. 10. Upper Iowa will host the #1 Huskies of St. Cloud State on Alumni Day/Senior Day in Fayette. The dual is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.
