#6 Wolfpack Takes Care of Utah Valley to Improve to 5-0

RALEIGH – Capped off by Isaac Trumble’s dominant technical fall to close the match, sixth-ranked NC State wrestling claimed six of 10 bouts to defeat Utah Valley 23-16 at home Saturday night.
Starting off at 125 pounds, No. 13 Vince Robinson put NC State on the board first for the third dual-match in a row when defeated Bridger Ricks 5-2. He remains undefeated at 11-0 on the season with five of those wins from duals.
Although known to be the guy at 125, Jakob Camacho stepped back into the lineup weighing in at 133 for the meeting with Utah Valley. The redshirt-senior unfortunately got injured in the second period and had to default to his opponent, giving the visiting Wolverines a 6-3 lead.
In the first ranked matchup of the night, seventh-ranked Kai Orine faced 21st-ranked and 2022 NCAA Qualifer Haiden Drury in the 141 weight class. The two closed out the first two periods scoreless, although, Drury was able to rack up almost two minutes of riding time from being on top all of the second period. 30 seconds into the third he got the escape to lead 1-0 over Orine. With time slipping away, Orine gave up a takedown to drop his match 0-5 and push Utah Valley’s lead to 9-3.
While the Pack were trailing 3-9 on their home mat, Koy Buesgens in the lineup at 149 pounds was able to provide a spark of energy to his team with a gritty 12-3 major decision. Buesgens did an excellent job capitalizing on his defense and then reattacking which gave him a 6-1 control through the first three minutes. His athleticism continued to show as he displayed a flashy two point reversal in the second and then a slick shot in the third to boost his win.
Eighth-ranked Ed Scott handed NC State the 11-7 lead when he followed up with a major decision of his own in the 157 weight class. Scott remained controlled the scoreboard his entire bout and only let his opponent come within one point to him before he took off to win 19-11.
