I know I'm mixing sports analogies here, but Al McGuire couldn't find a cream puff anywhere in sight at the National Wrestling Coaches Association Cliff Keen Duals hosted by the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Rapids, Iowa Saturday. UW-Whitewater, ranked twenty-second in the NWCA Division III poll, lost to second ranked Augsburg College 32-6, defeated number fourteen Williams Center 28-12, and lost to number one UW-La Crosse 28-9.
