Trailing 3-2, Movahedi scored the go-ahead points for a 4-3 decision over No. 20-ranked Dylan Gabel at 184 pounds as Coach Jon Sioredas' Mustangs overcame 14-0 and 18-6 deficits for their sixth dual meet victory of the season.
For Movahedi, it was his sixth consecutive win as the junior improved his season record to 13-5.
Cal Poly won six of the 10 bouts and four of the six victories were by one or two points.
After Northern Colorado won the first three bouts by a fall and two major decisions for a 14-0 advantage, Mustang 149-pounder Joshy Cortez began the comeback with a 6-5 decision over Ben Polkowske.
Cortez jumped to a 4-1 lead in the first period with a pair of takedowns and added escapes in each of the final two periods for his 12th win of the season.
At 157, No. 18-ranked Colt Shorts and Northern Colorado's Jimmy Fate were locked in a scoreless duel for two periods. Fate nearly rode out the third period for what appeared to be a 1-0 victory on riding time but locked his hands with four seconds to go, giving Shorts a penalty point and a 1-1 tie.
Shorts scored the only takedown of the bout 27 seconds into the overtime period for the 3-1 decision.
Northern Colorado 165-pounder Keilan Torres recorded his team's third major decision of the dual meet for an 18-6 Bears lead with four bouts to go.
All four were won by the Mustangs.
Xavier Johnson overcame a 3-2 deficit with a second-period reversal and added an escape, takedown and riding time in the final period for an 8-3 decision over Tanner Davis at 174.
Movahedi's 4-3 upset of Gabel at 184 closed the gap to 18-12.
At 197, Mustang redshirt freshman Thomas Lane (12-11) sprinted to a 12-0 lead in the first period with a takedown, a pair of four-point near falls and two penalty points before Jamarcus Grant was warned for stalling a fourth time and disqualified with 12 seconds to go in the opening period.
The disqualification gave Cal Poly six team points and knotted the team score at 18-18 heading into the final bout.
And for the second consecutive dual meet, the Mustangs prevailed by the same score. Cal Poly edged CSU Bakersfield 21-18 last week at Righetti High School as Shorts scored a 6-0 decision in the final bout.
This time, it was Spencer Empey clinching the dual for the Mustangs with a 2-0 decision over Jack Kuck at 285.
After a scoreless first period, Empey tallied an escape in the second period and was awarded a point in the third period as Kuck was penalized for stalling, resulting in the victory and lifting Empey's mark for the season to 15-13.
Cal Poly, which closed out the home portion of its dual meet schedule with Sunday's win and snapped a three-match losing streak to the Bears -- Northern Colorado still leads the series 3-2 -- visits Oregon State on Friday and Boise State on Sunday for Pac-12 duals.
