Gioacchini and Ladd accounted for 10 points and the Muskies took advantage of three forfeit wins to defeat the Falcons for the first time since the 2013-14 season. Lakeland won in its lone home date of the season and also won a dual for the first time in 12 tries, a stretch dating back to the 2015-16 season.
Gioacchini earned a key pin at 157 pounds against Miguel Betancourt, rallying back after losing a point early to win by fall in 5:10. Ladd also was in control at 174 lbs., with a takedown and near fall early on the way to a 9-0 major decision over Alex Montbriand.
Lakeland also received wins at 141, 165 and 184 lbs., while both teams forfeited at 149. Concordia recorded its wins at 125, 133, 197 and 285 lbs.
The Muskies' best performance in defeat came from Michael Grabe (Fr.-Midlothian, Ill.), who went the distance but lost by decision to Sam Olson by a 6-2 count in the heavyweight class.
Lakeland returns to the mats Saturday when it travels to the Dan Gable Open hosted by UW-Oshkosh.
