The Pack (4-0, 2-0) returned to Reynolds on Friday evening to face a stiff challenge in the 12th-ranked Pitt Panthers (3-1, 1-1). NC State didn’t always make it look easy, but they showed the separation of being top-15 vs. being top-5 in the country. We took 8 of 10 bouts, with two coming by bonus points, and cruised to a 27-6 victory.
Another week, another Jakob Camacho bonus point victory to kick-off the dual. This time, he turned it on late to take the 13-5 major decision over Camacho of Pitt. Jakob didn’t really seem to have that killer instinct early - a theme we would see amongst Pack wrestlers until 157 - that could have pushed this to a more dominant victory.
