CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – The Albion men's wrestling team trekked to the Hawkeye state for the ultra-competitive National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) National Duals hosted by the University of Northern Iowa.
 
The Britons went 1-3 throughout the weekend competing in the Division III bracket, with their lone victory coming in their final dual against Dubuque. Albion won their last two matches against NYU to tie the score at 18-18 but lost on a tiebreaker (NYU racked up five individual wins compared to Albion's four).
 
There were 261 duals contested across Division I, II, III and NAIA brackets. Roanoke defeated Wartburg for the Division III title.
 
Competing inside the comforts of the UNI-Dome where Northern Iowa plays their football games, Bode Brown won each of the matches he competed in. The heavyweight went 3-0 on the day, not competing against Concordia (MN).
 
Koen Eberhard posted a 3-1 record, defeating opponents from NYU, Concordia (MN) and Dubuque to lead Albion at 141.
