Augsburg College -- a tradition of wrestling excellence Augsburg’s wrestling team has dominated small-college competition over the last three decades.

• Augsburg has finished among the top two teams in national competition 24 times since 1975, winning national titles 12 times in NCAA Division III competition and earning runner-up honors 12 times (11 in Division III, once in NAIA). Augsburg finished among the top four teams nationally in Division III competition every year from 1989 to 2012. • The Auggies have won 12 NCAA Division III national championships in the last 27 seasons (1991, 1993, 1995, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2007, 2010, 2015), the most in Division III history. Augsburg is one of only four NCAA schools to have won 10 or more college wrestling national titles (Oklahoma State has won 34 Division I team titles, while Iowa has won 23 Division I team titles and Wartburg has won 13 Division III team titles). Augsburg has also finished second nine times since 1984 and in the top 20 nationally (NCAA from 1983 to present, NAIA pre-1983) every year since 1971. • Against opponents from Divisions II and III, Augsburg is 327-51-1 in dual meets since the 1989-90 season. Augsburg has lost just 47 matches to non-Division I opponents since the 1995-96 season. • Against strictly NCAA Division III opponents, Augsburg is 317-50-1 since the 1979-80 season. Since the 1989-90 season, Augsburg is 242-40-1 against Division III opponents. • Against opponents from the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, Augsburg is 209-7 since the 1975-76 season. In winning each of the 14 MIAC Team Dual Meet tournaments, Augsburg outscored its conference opponents by a 3,266-145 margin in going 68-0. The MIAC no longer sponsors an individual tournament and ended the MIAC Team Duals in the 2003-04 season.

Augsburg has a record of individual success nationally, both on the mat and in the classroom.

• Since Pat Marcy won the school’s first NAIA national title at 150 pounds in 1972, Augsburg wrestlers have earned 50 individual national championships, including 46 NCAA Division III national titles, the most in Division III history (Augsburg has been an NCAA Division III member since 1983). Wartburg (Iowa) is second with 44 NCAA Division III individual titles, while Montclair State (N.J.) is third with 28, Brockport State (N.Y.) is fourth with 25, and The College of New Jersey is fifth with 21. • Augsburg has earned 237 All-Americans in school history (since 1969; 36 NAIA, 201 NCAA). Augsburg has had at least one All-American in national wrestling competition (NAIA and NCAA) every season since 1977, and has had three or more All-Americans at 38 different national tournaments. At the 2005 NCAA Division III national championships, Augsburg earned All-Americans in all 10 weight classes for the first time in program history and just the second time in Division III history (Wartburg in 2003). • Augsburg College has also been a success in the classroom. Over the past 32 seasons, Augsburg has produced 145 National College Wrestling Association (NWCA) Scholar All-Americans. Augsburg had nine Scholar All-Americans last season and has had 122 athletes honored since 1997. Since the NWCA has awarded Division III academic team national championships, Augsburg has finished second four times and first twice (1998-99, 2011-12), including the 2011-12 academic national title with a team gradepoint average of 3.7341 (4.00 scale). Augsburg finished second in the 2016-17 academic national race with a 3.46 team GPA. Augsburg has also had 10 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-Americans in wrestling -- Dan Lewandowski (1996-97), Josh Cagle (1998-99 and 1999-2000), Jim Peterson (1998-99), Brian Jones (1999-2000), Mark Matzek (2004-05), Ryan Valek (2004-05 and 2005-06) and Tony Valek (2010-11 and 2011-12).

Augsburg is 113-35-1 in dual meets in Moulsoff’s 11 seasons on the Augsburg staff, 48-12 as head coach. • Moulsoff is a well-known figure in Minnesota’s wrestling community, having served as a high school coach for 18 seasons before joining the Augsburg coaching staff in 2008. He was promoted to a fulltime assistant coaching position prior to the 2010-11 season, serving as the top assistant coach on the Augsburg staff. He also is the director of the James Haglund Family Fitness and Recreation Center in the Augsburg Athletic Department. • In 2014-15, Moulsoff was named the NWCA Division III National Coach of the Year and Rookie Coach of the Year, along with the West Region Coach of the Year, after Augsburg won the NCAA Division III national title. He also earned West Region Coach of the Year honors in 2015-16 and 2016-17. In 2013-14, Moulsoff was named West Region Assistant Coach of the Year by his coaching peers during the NCAA Division III West Regional. • Prior to joining the Auggie staff, Moulsoff spent 15 years as head coach of the Minnehaha Academy High School wrestling program (1993-2008).

* The last NAIA championship meet for Augsburg was held in 1983, as was its first NCAA III championship meet. Augsburg competed in both meets. Prior to 1983, Augsburg competed in the NAIA national championship meets. # The 2003 and 2004 MIAC championships were from the Team Duals tournament; the MIAC individual tournament ended in the 2001-02 season; the MIAC no longer sponsors wrestling as a championship sport. GLR in the MIAC/Regional Finish category refers to the NCAA Division III Great Lakes Regional, which replaced the MIAC championships as the national qualifying tournament for Augsburg and other MIAC schools from 2003 to 2012.
