Upper Iowa-SW Minnesota State Dual Results

The #11 Upper Iowa wrestling team played host to the Mustangs of Southwest Minnesota State. UIU came into the dual with a 3-0 record in Northern Sun action and a fourth victory would seal the conference championship. The Peacocks dominated the dual gaining 12 points on two open weight forfeits combined with two pinfalls and three major decision victories to control the dual and take the victory 41-4. The win was Upper Iowa's ninth straight Northern Sun Conference victory and clinches back-to-back NSIC Championships for the Peacocks, who have dominated the conference in impressive fashion over the past two seasons.

The Peacocks return to the mat Mar. 2 to compete in the NCAA Division II North Regional in Mankato, Minn. beginning at 10 a.m. The top four in each weight class at the Regional will continue on to wrestle at the NCAA Division II Championships hosted by Upper Iowa in Cedar Rapids at the U.S. Cellular Center on Mar. 14 and 15.
