The Port Washington, Wisconsin native started his impressive title run in 2013 with an 11-3 major decision over Matt Lester of Oklahoma. In 2014, he posted an 8-3 decision over Justin DeAngelis of OU and an 14-4 win over Mike Moreno of ISU last year.

The win also improves Dieringer's win streak to 77 matches, dating back to last season. Dieringer is 28-0 this season with 24 bonus-point victories. He surpassed Mike Sheet's with his first win this weekend to become the third-all time in consecutive wins.
