CHAPEL HILL --- When North Carolina hosts NC State in the Brawl At The Hall on Jan. 23, it figures to be a standout night for college wrestling in the ACC. Highlighting the event will be the match at 141 pounds, which is scheduled to feature 2016 All-American Joey Ward of UNC and 2015 All-American Kevin Jack of NC State. Ward and Jack, who have split four memorable matches over the last two seasons, will be the 10th and final bout of the dual at Memorial Hall.
A redshirt senior from Cincinnati, Ward is 14-2 on the year following his runner-up finish at the Southern Scuffle.
