DURHAM, N.C—The Duke wrestling team grabbed a trio of victories, but third-ranked NC State was too much for the No. 23 Blue Devils as the Wolfpack avenged last season’s loss with a 34-9 victory in Card Gym this evening.
Duke (0-2, 0-1 ACC) garnered wins from Mitch Finesilver, Jake Faust and Conner Hartmann against the Wolfpack, continuing their trend from this past weekend’s Southern Scuffle.
“NC State is a tough team obviously,” said head coach Glen Lanham. “We’re going to go in the hole at 125 not wrestling and at 133 we had a kid we pulled out of a redshirt season.
