No. 24 Pitt wrestling knocks off Virginia, 19-14, for first ACC win

Unfortunately, the Pitt wrestling meet against Virginia wasn't available anywhere to watch, so this recap will be a bit less detailed because of that. But the Panthers pulled out a 19-14 win over conference foe Virginia on the road on Sunday to pull off the weekend sweep after defeating Iowa State Friday night.

Like Friday, we didn't start off with the 125-pounders. Instead, the dual started with the heavyweight level. There, Ryan Solomon was impressive, winning his bout, 11-1. L.J. Bentley continued to struggle, though, and was soundly defeated at 125 pounds, 15-1. Dom Forys won at 133 and Nick Zanetta at 141 lost to trade three-point decisions and Pitt found itself trailing, 8-7.
