Another week, another loss to a North Carolina school for the Duke wrestling team.
With his team already down 14-0 to North Carolina Tuesday night, Duke’s Antwone Floyd scored a quick takedown on Chris Ramos.
Though any sporting event that pits Duke against North Carolina is traditionally considered a rivalry, in wrestling the matchup is more like a feud between a younger and older brother.
Duke used its depth to secure three team victories Saturday at the Delaware State Duals.
The third period and overtime were the downfall for Duke"s wrestling team as it lost 25-11 to Virginia Tech Saturday in Blacksburg, Va..
The wrestling team emerging from break has a different look to it than the one that went into it..
In its toughest test of the still-young season, the wrestling team finished in seventh place out of nine teams at the Keystone Classic at the University of Pennsylvania.
In their second tournament of the season, the Blue Devil veterans looked strong, and a few newcomers showed some promise.
After a breakout 2003-2004 campaign, the Blue Devil wrestling team returns three of its four ACC champions and is poised for a run at the conference title.
