Augsburg University -- 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 26 times since 1975, winning national titles 13 times in NCAA Division III competition and earning runner-up honors 13 times (12 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 13 NCAA Division III national championships in the last 28 seasons (1991, 1993, 1995, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2007, 2010, 2015, 2019), the second-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 14 Division III team titles). Augsburg has also finished second 12 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 338-52-1 in dual meets since the 1989-90 season. Augsburg has lost just 48 matches to non-Division I opponents since the 1995-96 season. • Against strictly NCAA Division III opponents, Augsburg is 326-51-1 since the 1979-80 season. Since the 1989-90 season, Augsburg is 251-41-1 against Division III opponents. • Against opponents from the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, Augsburg is 211-7 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 56 individ- ual national championships, including 52 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 47 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 22. • Augsburg has earned 251 All-Americans in school history (since 1969; 38 NAIA, 213 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-Ameri- cans at 40 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 University has also been a success in the classroom. Over the past 34 seasons, Augsburg has produced 159 National College Wrestling Association (NWCA) Scholar All-Americans. Augsburg had six Scholar All-Americans in 2018-19 and has had 136 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 grade- point 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 12 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), Tony Valek (2010-11 and 2011-12), Victor Gliva (2017-18) and Sam Bennyhoff (2017-18). Head Coach Jim Moulsoff • Jim Moulsoff (Minnesota ‘03) was named the 10th head coach in the history of the Augsburg University wrestling program in the fall of 2014. The 2018-19 season is Moulsoff’s 12th on the Augsburg coaching staff, serving as an assistant coach for one season under former head coach Sam Barber and six seasons under former head coach Mark Matzek. During his Augsburg coaching tenure, Moulsoff was a part of the 2009-10, 2014-15 and 2018-19 national title squads and national runner-up squads in 2008-09, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2016-17 and 2017-18, with 62 All-Americans and 14 national champions. Augs- burg is 124-36-1 in dual meets in Moulsoff’s 12 seasons on the staff, 59-13 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 full- time assistant coaching position prior to the 2010-11 season, serving as the top assistant coach on the Augsburg staff. • In 2018-19, Moulsoff earned D3wrestle.com Division III National Coach of the Year honors, and earned NWCA Division III National Tournament Coach of the Year honors in both 2015 and 2019, and Rookie Coach of the Year honors in 2015. He also earned West Region Coach of the Year honors in 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016- 17, and Upper Midwest Region Co-Coach of the Year honors in 2017-18 and 2018-19. In 2013-14, Moulsoff was named West Region Assistant Coach of the Year by his coaching peers. • Prior to joining the Auggie staff, Moulsoff spent 15 years as head coach of the Minnehaha Academy High School wrestling pro- gram (1993-2008). In the 2002-03 season, Moulsoff led the Redhawk program to a 12-5 dual meet record and earned the Metro Alliance Conference Coach of the Year honors. He was an assistant coach at Whapeton (N.D.) High School from 1990-93. • In addition to his experience at the high school level, Moulsoff has been active as a coach in many levels of amateur wrestling and has served as the cadet director for Minnesota/USA Wrestling. A native of Breckenridge, Minn., Moulsoff wrestled at the North Dakota State College of Science from 1981-83, and earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Minnesota in 2003. athletics.augsburg.edu • Twitter: @AugsburgAuggies • Instagram: @AugsburgAuggies • Facebook: AugsburgAuggies Augsburg University Wrestling History Augsburg’s Team Finishes Augsburg’s 56 National Champions (4 NAIA, 52 NCAA D-III) Nat’l.
