UNC Visits Duke With ACC Title On the Line

No. 13 North Carolina looks to win an ACC wrestling dual meet title for the first time since 2002 when it travels to Durham tonight to square off with Duke at 7:00 p.m. in the final dual of the 2018-19 season. The match can be streamed live on WatchESPN.

The Tar Heels (11-7, 3-1) will earn a share of the regular-season title with a win. The winner of tonight's NC State and Virginia Tech match would share the title with Carolina.

UNC slots in at 24th in Intermat's tournament team rankings and has three wrestlers in the individual rankings – Gary Wayne Harding (No. 20 at 133 pounds), Austin O'Connor (No. 4 at 149 pounds) and Chip Ness (No. 14 at 184 pounds).

The Blue Devils (2-8, 0-4) have two wrestlers ranked in Intermat's weekly rankings – Mitch Finesilver (No. 7 at 149 pounds) and Matt Finesilver (No. 16 at 174 pounds). Last weekend, Duke lost to No. 15 Pittsburgh in one of the tightest matches of the year within the conference, a 20-19 win for Pittsburgh.
