December 3, 2019 | Wrestling
GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – North Carolina senior A.C. Headlee has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Wrestler of the Week for the second time this season after helping the No. 18 Tar Heels turn back visiting Appalachian State 19-13 on Sunday.
After the Mountaineers won at 149 pounds with a major decision to begin the afternoon, Headlee helped turn the momentum at 157 with a 3-2 upset of No. 13 Matt Zovistoski – the first of five straight Tar Heel weight-class wins.
Headlee used a first-period takedown and strong defense throughout the seven minutes to pick up the decision, the Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, native's second over a top-15 opponent this season. He earlier turned back No. 10 Will Lewan against Michigan on Nov. 8.
