    Upper Iowa defeats Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, 23-13

    Upper Iowa won the first three matches in picking up a 23-13 dual meet victory over Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville Wednesday night. The meet was the Peacocks' first Division II battle of the season.

    Red-shirt freshman Tyler Mumbulo started Upper Iowa (1-1) in the right direction with a 15-0 technical fall victory at 125 pounds. Returning national qualifier senior Ralph Acosta picked up a 3-2 decision at 133 pounds before sophomore Kyle Burkle added a 6-4 win at 141 pounds for an 11-0 UIU lead.

    SIU-Edwardsville (0-3) got on the board at 149 pounds as Joe Rujawitz earned a slim 2-1 decision. UIU senior Brandon Heying (4-0 at 157 pounds) and red-shirt freshman Tony Gehling (9-6 at 184 pounds) collected decisions for the Peacocks.

    Junior Brian Black ended the meet with a quick fall at heavyweight, defeating Dusty Garner in 32 seconds.

    In its two years of competing at the Division II level, Upper Iowa remained perfect against D-II foes. The lone UIU loss this season came at the hands of nationally-ranked Division I power Iowa State University.

    The Peacocks will return home to host Waldorf College Thursday, Dec. 1, at 6 p.m.
