The Peacocks have placed in the top eight in three of the last four years at the National Duals. Upper Iowa claimed 8th place four years ago, improved to 7th place the next year, and then claimed 5th place two years ago. Last year’s run at the NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals in Cedar Falls was cut short after a close loss to #1 Nebraska-Omaha (21-15) and a loss to Central Oklahoma (22-13).  The Peacocks got their opportunity to upset UNO after defeating the eighth-seed Grand Canyon (20-18).
