No. 6 NC State takes care of business, drops Binghamton, 36-3

RALEIGH So much for any rust coming off the winter break.
For the first time since December 20,the NC State wrestling team was in action and the Pack was in midseason form, dominating Binghamton, 36-3 in front of 1,750 fans inside of Reynolds Coliseum.
With the win, NC State improves to 9-0 on the season as they gear up for ACC competition. The Pack will have one more pre-conference warm up, hosting Army next Friday, before jumping into league action.
If the Bearcats were the next to last quiz, NC State looks more than ready for the conference test.
The Pack dropped the first match of the night when Micah Roes defeated No. 24 Jarrett Trombley, 3-1. NC State won the final nine matches of the night, including three major decisions and two pin falls.
The Pack is now 4-0 all-time versus Binghamton, the school where Pat Popolizio coached from 2007-12.
NC State went 2-0 in head-to-head matchups of ranked opponents on Friday. In the 184-pound class, No. 3 Trent Hidlay shook off his first loss of the season (in New Orleans) and defeated No. 23 Jacob Nolan, 13-3. The Lewistown, Pa. native was never in serious jeopardy, jumping out to a 6-2 lead after one. Hidlay (13-1) piled it on from then on, scoring on takedown after takedown in the final two periods.
In the heavyweight division, No. 13 Owen Trephan took on No. 21 Cory Day. Trephan, who has been on a tear lately, won his third straight match, picking up an 11-0 win. … rest of season at GOpack.com/news/2023/1/6/wrestling-no-6-nc-state-takes-care-of-business-drops-binghamton-36-3
