MILWAUKEE, Wis. – The Concordia Wisconsin wrestling team dropped both matches at the Northern Athletic Collegiate Conference (NACC) Showcase Duals, closing out the dual portion of the season with a 2–10 overall record.
 
Match 1 | Aurora 42, Concordia Wisconsin 11
 
The Falcons entered the day as the No. 4 seed and opened competition against top-seeded Aurora. The Spartans claimed victories at 125, 133, and 141 pounds, taking an early 16–0 lead.
 
CUW got on the board at 149 pounds, where freshman Ben Kaus (Menomonee Falls, Wis.) delivered a momentum-shifting pin against Alex Gochis at the 6:22 mark. After trailing 8–3 entering the third period, Kaus turned the tide with a nearfall in the final minute. Following a brief exchange of reversals, Kaus secured the pin just nine seconds later to earn six team points.
 
Aurora responded by winning the next four bouts at 157, 165, 174, and 184 pounds. Concordia Wisconsin closed the dual strong at 197, as freshman Kyle Sorenson (Union Grove, Wis.) earned a technical fall victory over Jeff Sorich.

Match 2 | Lakeland 47, Concordia Wisconsin 4
 
Lakeland controlled the second dual of the day, defeating the Falcons 47–4.

Kaus recorded an early takedown in the first period and added two nearfalls in the third, along with a riding time point, to secure the win.
 
At 174 pounds, senior Dawson Galvan (Chula Vista, Calif.) battled Dillon Raab in a competitive bout. Despite a 13–6 loss, Galvan's takedowns in both the second and third periods limited Lakeland to three team points.
