LaForge dropped a 7-3 decision to top-seeded Quincy Osborn of Augusburg to end his season with a 33-2 mark, a regional title and a national runner-up finish.

Junior 157-pounder Ryan Herwig and sophomore heavyweight Kyle Bilquist also competed at the NCAA Division III Championships as they each placed second at regionals and were selected for wild-card berths to the tournament

Herwig reached the third round of consolations and was one victory away from a top eight finish and All-American honors for the second year in a row. He finished the season with a 33-15 record.

Bilquist was ranked as high as third during the year before his loss in the regional finals. He then dropped both of his matches at the national tournament to end his season with a 38-7 record, including 17 pins.
