When the Dragons upset No. 10 Upper Iowa on Senior Night it was only fitting that the biggest match belonged to a senior, Evan Forde. Forde came in with the Dragons down 12-16 and the Peacocks top wrestler, Kyle Pedretti on the mat at 133 pounds. Forde and Pedretti studied one another in a scoreless first period, with Pedretti gaining an escape in the second to take a 1-0 lead. With the Dragons needing a come from behind win, it was Forde who came from behind to tie with an escape in the third to send the match into sudden victory overtime. Forde stunned No. 4 Pedretti, the regions current No. 1 seed, in overtime just 30 seconds into the period with a big takedown that earned him the 3-1 win, propelling the Dragons to the 25-17 win.
