ACC Matchups for Day Three at the 2025 NCAA Championships

The biggest story for the ACC is the two NCAA finalists with Vince Robinson winning in dominant fashion at 125 to make his first NCAA title match. This was side-by-side with Eddie Ventresca dropping a heartbreaker in a match where he was the clear aggressor, though there were no stall calls until TB1. Caleb Henson makes his second straight NCAA final to defend his crown where will see familiar foe Ridge Lovett in what is guaranteed to be one of the most entertaining matches of the night. 

Chaos is always the theme on Friday at the NCAA tournament and yesterday didn’t disappoint--though it wasn’t a friendly day for the ACC and is a reminder how brutal this tournament truly is. Seven ACC wrestlers pushed through to the podium in the bloodround with five others ending up one win short of the podium; an additional two falling in the consolation round of 16. 

Eddie Ventresca and Connor McGonagle will both start in the consolation semifinals today with a shot at the third place match for the Hokies. Joining them in that round is Hunter Garvin for the Fightin’ Trees who has been on an absolute tear after a tough top side loss and has been smiling all the way through. The final ACC wrestler in the consolation semis is Isaac Trumble for the Wolfpack. I could go on for hours about the performance from Trumble this weekend. After reaggravating a serious knee injury he fought through a brutal Blood Round match with Nick Feldman and will face his former teammate--and roommate--Owen Trephan for a spot in the third place match. The ACC will end the tournament with 10 All-Americans, which, though short of what we hoped for, is still pretty damn impressive.
