• After coming off a 37-10 win over Buena Vista University, Nebraska Wesleyan wrestling looked to carry their momentum into the annual A-R-C Duals held at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. 
• In their first dual against #5 Coe College, Nebraska Wesleyan's Seth Littrell and Zeth Gerkensmeyer were the lone Prairie Wolves to find a win. At 165 lbs., Seth Litrell escaped a close 5-4 decision over the Kohawks' Drake Thompson. Gerkensmeyer quickly took care of business, picking up a fall over Coe's 174-pounder, Austin Gomez, at the 5:41 mark. NWU was defeated 40-9.
• The most exciting dual of the day came when Nebraska Wesleyan squared off with Simpson College. Julian Long received a forfeit at 125 lbs. to earn six points. Jared Gallub, Travis Guzman, and Seth Littrell rattled off three more wins to follow. Gallub topped Noel Torres via tech fall (19-4), while Guzman and Littrell defeated their opponents by decision.
• The Prairie Wolves last victory came in the final three matches of the dual with the Storm. Caleb Schwerdfeger walked away with a forfeit, extending NWU's lead to 24-16. Unfortunately, after a close decision and a fall in the closing minutes, Simpson College was able to survive and win 25-24.
• The Black and Gold were unable to record a win against Loras College and #20 Luther College.
• Nebraska Wesleyan now falls to 2-8 (1-6 A-R-C) on the year.
