No. 13 Pitt wrestling falls to No. 12 Virginia Tech, 27-6

What was a highly anticipated match turned into an unexpected rout as Pitt’s No. 13 wrestling team fell to No. 12 Virginia Tech, 27-6. The Panthers fall to 8-2 on the year while the Hokies improve to 6-2.

Things got off to a slow start since it was announced beforehand that Pitt would have to forfeit at 141 as L.J. Bentley was unavailable. Anyone that reads these recaps knows the forfeits are something that drive me crazy. You lose six points and I’d almost always rather send a backup out there to do something. Even if they don’t win, they can save some points in the team score.
