WAVERLY, Iowa-- The No. 1 Wartburg men's wrestling team (13-0 overall) travels to face No. 2 Augsburg (6-1) Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the annual Battle of the Burgs. Click here to purchase tickets, as Augsburg has an online only system for events. 

The winner of the dual will own the Swens-Milboy trophy belt for the next year.

This title belt is named for the two coaches who built the Lutheran colleges to national prominence in small-college wrestling -- Augsburg's Jeff Swenson (1980-84, 1986-2007) and Wartburg's Jim Miller (1991-2013). Both coaches led their teams to 10 NCAA Division III national titles during their careers.

The rivalry between the two Lutheran schools is one of the most significant in all of NCAA Division III sports, as the DIII wrestling national championship has been won by either Augsburg or Wartburg every year since 1995. Wartburg holds the DIII wrestling record with its 15 National Championships and Augsburg is second with 14.
