CHAPEL HILL --- No. 17 North Carolina (7-1) hosts No. 12 Princeton (2-2) Friday at 7 p.m. in Carmichael Arena for UNC's final dual before ACC competition begins. The match will be streamed on ACC Network Extra.

Four Tar Heels are ranked in this week's Intermat rankings following Carolina's three-win weekend at the Army Duals. The team knocked off No. 21 Army (19-12), Wyoming (20-15) and American (37-4) on the weekend. No. 2 Austin O'Connor leads the way at 149 pounds, with No. 14 Zach Sherman (141), No. 17 Kennedy Monday (165) and No. 20 A.C. Headlee (157) also ranked.

Princeton comes to town following a fifth-place team finish at the 2019 Midlands Championships. The Tigers' two losses on the year have come against Oklahoma State and Iowa. The team knocked off Lehigh and Rider earlier in the season.

Carolina will host Military Appreciation night on Friday. Admission is free, and the first 150 fans will receive Carolina Wrestling foam fingers.
