#8 NC State Collects 13th-Straight Win Over #11 UNC

RALEIGH – In front of a sold-out Reynolds Coliseum, eighth-ranked NC State wrestling (12-3, 3-0 ACC) collected its 13th consecutive win over the No. 11 North Carolina Tar Heels (8-2, 1-1 ACC) by a comfortable 24-10 win on Friday night.
The Wolfpack improves to 3-0 in conference action by defeating 11th-ranked North Carolina at home Friday night by a 24-10 score. A streak that began in 2014, the win is the 13th in a row by the Pack over the Tar Heels. The dual began at 141 lbs, which resulted in the Tar Heels getting points on the board first.
One of the highlights of the night comes from freshman phenom Will Denny, who had a fiery match that ended up in a major decision over a top-10 opponent. The freshman’s win marks his 10th in a row and second overall top-10 win of the season. The newest addition to the Pack, Patrick Brophy at 197 lbs, took out #33 Robert Platt 8-1 to land his first ranked win in the red-and-white.
To close out the dual, at 133 lbs, Zach Redding defeated 18th-ranked Ethan Oakley for his second ranked win of the season, which is the first since the National Duals Invitational. The attendance marks the third-ever announced sell-out in program history. … more at … https://gopack.com/news/2026/1/24/wrestling-8-nc-state-collects-13th-straight-win-over-11-unc
