    NC State wins final 7 bouts to defeat Appalachian State

    ALEIGH, N.C. -- Trailing 8-4 after the first three bouts, the ninth-ranked NC State wrestling team won the final seven matches and defeated No. 21 Appalachian State 30-8 in Reynolds Coliseum Wednesday night. The Wolfpack (3-0) recorded five bonus point wins on the night, and dating back to last season, NC State has now won 26 of its last 27 duals.

    The dual started at 197 pounds, and redshirt sophomore Malik McDonald got the Pack started with a 12-3 major decision.

    The Mountaineers (3-1) then ran off two straight major decisions - their lone wins of the night - and held an 8-4 lead after the first three matches.

    NC State then closed out the dual reeling off seven straight wins and outscored Appalachian State 75-20 in those bouts.

    Sean Fausz started the Pack's winning streak with an 8-6 win at 133 pounds. Tied 5-5 going into the third period, Fausz scored a reversal to start the period and held on for the win. No. 7 Kevin Jack made quick work of his foe at 141 pounds, getting a 17-1 technical fall.

    At the intermission, the Pack held a 12-8 lead.

    No. 16 Sam Speno pulled off the Pack's first upset of the night, as he scored a 19-7 major decision over Matt Zovistoski at 149 pounds. Another redshirt from last season, Brian Hamann, also picked up an upset win, as he rode No. 18 Forrest Przybysz the entire third period and picked up a 2-1 win at 165 pounds.

    In between the Pack's two upsets, No. 4 Max Rohskopf scored four back-points in the second period and earned the ride time point to win 5-0 at 157 pounds.

    The Pack closed the dual with a pair of major decisions. Freshman Nick Reenan won 10-2 followed by No. 18 Michael Macchiavello's 14-3 win.
