Rutgers-North Carolina wrestling preview: DeLuca vs. Heilmann highlights Top 25 battle

Rutgers is gearing up for another home dual meet against a fellow nationally-ranked school.

The No. 17 Scarlet Knights will host No. 24 North Carolina on Friday night at the RAC in Piscataway. The match is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

It’s a good matchup for Rutgers, which is looking to snap a three-dual losing streak, all against ranked teams. The Scarlet Knights should have a handful of opportunities for bonus points in the dual meet. It's also a good matchup for New Jersey wrestling fans, as Troy Heilmann - a former South Plainfield High star - and former Blair standout Zach Sherman are both expected to wrestle for the Tar Heels.
