CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The 21st-ranked North Carolina wrestling team swept its three opponents Friday afternoon, in the Carolina Duals.

The Tar Heels blanked UNC Pembroke (49-0), Greensboro College (57-0) and Davidson (47-0), starting 5-0 in dual competition to open the campaign.

The 5-0 mark is the best start to a campaign since the 2005-06 season, and Friday's three shutouts is the longest shutout streak in program history.

Of the 30 matches won by the Tar Heels on Friday, 26 victories were bonus-point wins for Carolina.

Up next, Carolina hosts No. 20 West Virginia on Friday, Dec. 12 in Carmichael Arena. Action between the Tar Heels and Mountaineers gets underway at 7 PM.
