Pitt's wrestling got back onto the mat after getting a split last weekend, losing to Virginia Tech and defeating VMI. Unfortunately, the Panthers dropped a close one, losing 20-16 to North Carolina.
The Panthers got off to a good start with L.J. Bentley putting together a strong match at 125 pounds to put the team up 3-0 early. But Pitt quickly slid after that. Dom Forys, perhaps the team's best wrestler, was MIA at 133 pounds.
The announcers mentioned his absence but did not talk of an injury. Regardless of the reason he wasn't in there, though, his absence really hurt.
