be pegged back

The Iraqi army and Iraqi Kurds ousted the jihadists of the Islamic State from a great dam near Mosul, raising the prospect that they may be pegged back elsewhere in the country.

I think this phrase means that "repulse". But could you tell me the exact meaning or the derivative process of this phrase?
