Other Notes:
-The Knights enter the weekend as the four-time defending NWCA Dual Champion and NCAA National Champion. The 2014 title was the eighth National Duals crown overall and fourth consecutive. The Orange and Black also took the top spot in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

-From 2002 (when the NWCA National Duals was created) until 2012, it had only been Wartburg and Augsburg in the finals each year. This did not happen in the 2013 Duals due to both programs being on the same side of the bracket. The 2014 finals was between Wartburg and Concordia-Moorhead.

-Sophomore Connor Campo enters the weekend on an 11-match winning streak. He also has a team-best 14 wins along with Ben Nagle.

-Junior Drew Wagenhoffer has a 10-match winning streak.
