WEST POINT, N.Y. — No. 17 North Carolina won all three matches in Saturday’s Army Duals, defeating No. 21 Army, Wyoming and American.

In the team’s first dual against Army, UNC won three consecutive matches against ranked wrestlers.

Headlee added another ranked win to his resume (No. 14 Markus Hartman), while Monday topped No. 20 Cael McCormick.
Jeremiah Derby won his first dual meet match as a Tar Heel to kick off the team’s win over Wyoming – his 7-4 decision over Doyle Trout earned UNC early momentum in the eventual 20-15 win over the Cowboys.
